Hello,

My security is saying that my browser (mozilla) is not allowing the latest adobe flash player to install as a plug. How can I get mozilla to accept the flash player? Once it's on the add-on page then I can enable it to run.

I've seen on the various trouble-shooting pages how to install it. but it keeps on coming up with these messages!

Thank you.

New Update For Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 22.0.0.192 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2.202.626

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download.

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download.
