Title: Firefox blocking plugins
Post by: BellaUSA on April 17, 2016, 02:44:46 PM

Can't access some games & other sites lately. Get the message :
'FireFox prevented outdated plugin Adobe Flash from running.' Do I reinstall Adobe or what ? The firefox forum site doesn't seem to explain things very well.

Thank you

Don't understand why you did not find the answer.
Your want the new Adobe Flash Plugin for Firefox. This can be found in a Google search and has been on the Firefox forum.
Last year there was a security issue. Here is a link:

Mozilla has blocklisted all vulnerable versions of Adobe Flash in its Firefox browser, following the discovery of numerous critical security flaws in the platform.
Mark Schmidt, head of Firefox Support, took to Twitter to announce the change.

Get the new version of Flash.
