I do not know of which use is Adobe Flash Player? I am reminded daily to update to avoid problems with Firefox. I do not look movies or play games in the internet. When starting to update Adobe Flash Player, I get afraid by the accompanying questions for private data. Tell me what happens when I do not update Adobe Flash Player. Regards Gerhard

It is recommended to update it as the latest version as it includes security updates. A lot of sites use Flash to display their content, it is not just used for movies and games.

You can carry on using your current version of Flash, just be aware that it has published security holes.
