I am told I need to update my Adobe Flash. I am unable to update it via the directed web site.
I have go to (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) update my adobe flash. When I click on the link that says download now, nothing happens.
How can I correct this?
Thank you,
Mark

I always use the method(s) and links below to update. On the main Adobe Flashplayer page (the one you cited),
- Adobe will now download another browser if you do not un-check the box on the first page
- Adobe also downloaded, in the past, the troublesome getplus extension (an updater for Flash) on the page you cited
- May install Adobe Air along with Flash, which is not widely used at this point, except on mobile devices.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an ActiveX version for IE only and a Plugin version for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
- Using Firefox, go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
- When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit OR Firefox button > Exit)
- Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
- In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
- The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
- The installation is quick.
- Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
- Direct link ActiveX version for IE only: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

Not related to your question, but...
You need to update some plug-ins:
- Plug-in check: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Next Generation Java Plug-in for Mozilla browsers: Installing or Updating Java in Firefox
