The mozilla "Plugin Check & Update" page shows the "Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0" as vulnerable. However, the "Update Now" Button dose not take you to the update page.

Hello Siranger, 16.0.0.287 is vulnarable, try the latest 16.0.0.296 from the next link : https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

I have updated to 16.0.0.296 and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ is still reporting my copy as vulnerable. Clicking through to Adobe does not provide a later version than what I have already installed.

adobe flash player 16.0.0.296 IS vulnerable - there are zero-day exploits for it already floating around in the wild, please see this security advisory: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-02.html

there is no update available from adobe yet, so it's best to set the shockwave flash plugin to ask-to-activate in the firefox addons > plugins panel!
