I have told Firefox multiple times now to remember to allow Adobe Flash on my Linux based system ...
... ; it keeps right on asking as soon as I bring up a new URL; why?
Firefox seems to think my copy of Adobe Flash is out of date; it's not. In any case I've instructed Firefox to remember to run the version that I have, so I don't want a dumb computer system pretending that it knows more than i do. Please fix it so that it remembers my instruction OR let me know what additional step I need to take to stop this annoying and useless behaviour.

Go to the web page. Once the page is loading, mouse to the address bar and Left click the icon. A window for displaying site information should come up. Now select Permissions. In the menu, find and check the plugins, make sure they are set properly.
What version of Firefox 11.2.x do you have as 1.2.202.442 and current 11.2.202.451 is not blocked.
