Firefox says the latest flash plugin is "vulnerable"

more options

Firefox is informing me that the latest flash plugin 18.0.0.203 is vulnerable and out of date despite me updating and reinstalling several times. The problem was fixed temporarily a few days ago but ha now fallen victim to the "update loop." Any explanation to why this might be and any advice on how to fix this?

Hi, the plugin checker site now has a large notification:

All versions of Adobe’s Flash Player plugin are currently vulnerable.

A "Learn more" link leads to this page: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/set-adobe-flash-click-play-firefox

So even though there is an update button, in this case, there is no update available so please ignore the button for now.


If you are not accustomed to using the "Ask to Activate" feature for a plugin, here's what to expect:

When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.

But the page might be using Flash only for tracking or playing a video ad. If you don't see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification, it will just sit there in case you want it later.
