Plug-in site says Shockway Flash vulnerable, needs updating. I did but says I already have new version. Still shows as vulnerable. Currently have version 11.0.1.152 . Update is for 10.3.183.11. Why is it still showing up being vulnerable?
Up above pretty much sums it up for me. Mozzilla Plug-in Site shows that Shockwave Flash is vulnerable and needs updating, when I click on it, it takes me to Adobe Flash Player and the version it wants me to update to is 10.3.183.11. But when I did that it stopped halfway through and told me that I do have an updated version installed and wouldn't complete. But when I went back to the plug-in page, it still shows Shockwave as being vulnerable and needing updated. Does anyone know why this is? I even double checked and went under Troubleshooting and it shows what I have installed and went to the plug-in section and it shows Shockwave as having version 11.0.1.152. But the version that it's telling me to update too is 10.3.183.11, so that would explain why when I tried to update it said I had the current version. But still shows me as being vulnerable. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks for responding but the link you gave me is the same link at the plug-in site and it says that I'm updating to 10.3.183.11. That's probably why it wouldn't finish the install because it said that I do have a newer version which is 11.0.1.152. Just found out that the newer version is 11.1.102.55 but that's not what Mozilla Firefox is telling me to update too. Very confused right. Also you mentioned updating Firefox to version 8. I didn't know it would make any difference what version I had. But currently I use 3.6.6. I did try to update to the latest version that Firefox has been showing me in their update section which is 3..24 but when I did, it made me lose my browser and fortunately for me I still had an icon for setting up Firefox and had to do it from scratch. So I'm afraid to update to any newer versions of Firefox now. Do you think that's the problem? All my other plug-ins update, so far, with no trouble at all. Thanks so much! Debbie
Thanks again but when I went there I don't see the correct version to click on. Everything there just explains what it is and now I see something called IE after it some say 32-bit and 64-bit. I have know idea what those are. I just usually go to my Mozilla plug-in site and update and never worry about what version it is because the system knows. You can tell I'm not a 'techy' person. But apparently it's Adobe that's dropped the ball. I went back to their site and went to the new version and when you go directly there to download it pops up with the old version that's been telling me to update too which is 10.3.183.11. I tried going directly to support there but it ends up referring me to this type of support. Apparently if you want to call support up you have to pay to get actual tech support from them. In this case you shouldn't because they have it defaulting to the wrong update. I went to other sites as well but am afraid of downloading the wrong version. Actually, the site you sent me too showed someone else that did the same thing from there and it downloaded the wrong version too. So am hesitant to do it from there. Guess I'll just hope that since I do have version 11.0.1.152 that it will work fine until they fix the update page. Debbie

Flash Player 11.1.102.55 (Non-IE) is flash for all browsers except Internet Explorer, the right one for firefox.
Go to above page and at the right you can see :
Download Latest Version 3.59MB
download and then double click to install it, then the next time you can open firefox you see that you have update to 11.1.102.55 Shockwave Flash(name Shockwave Flash is the adobe flash for firefox).
thank you
I would suggest that you try cleaning up existing versions of Flash first.
Follow the steps on this page to remove all existing versions of Flash: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (the 32-bit uninstaller is the one for you)
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to install the latest version.
Thanks but it's a moot point now. I accidentally clicked on my update to Firefox and now that I have a new version I was able to install the latest Shockwave plug-in. I didn't mean to hit the button because last time I updated to a new version of Firefox I lost my browser completely and fortunately had the installation icon saved for the older version on my desktop to re-store it.
