    Updating Flash in Firefox

    Colour me dumb, but I can't get Flash updated ATM.

    Have the latest updates on Firefox and it tells me I need to update Flash due to a security/vulnerability issue.
    Fine.
    But when I go to Adobe and try and download the new version all I get is I need a new plugin, then Firefox can't find a suitable one yet the one it is trying to download I already have installed in Firefox ??

    Anyway, I click on the Firefox download instructions that Adobe have provided and it shows a dialogue box that doesn't appear in my system at all

    I have No-Script set to allow scripts from Adobe, so I'm stumped ATM.

    Oh, and I'm running XP Home.

    I eventually got sick of it and told it I didn't want to update. Hasn't caused any problems yet. Maybe it did it itself while I wasn't looking.

    No 64bit flash unless you run linux.

    But I don't think that's Rick's problem.

    Flash is bad, m'kay?

    yeah, I hate Flash, but so many sites run it...

    Yet I have it mostly blocked with No-Script, so go figure

    anyway, I've updated it.
