i can not set adobe flash addon to always activate on a windows computer
ok. so i updated my computer recently. after the update i went to go play some games on my computer mostly facebook games. i kept having to tell fire fox to activate adobe flash. i use windows 8 i have the latest edition of adobe flash my flash plug in is shockwave flash 18.0.0.203 i saw that some one else was having this problem but they use a linux system i updated my flash 5 minutes before i made an account, which i only made so i could make this post firefox is my prefered browser if i cant get this to work i will have to use the dreaded internet explorer and then i will hate being on the internet at all times my firefox just updated two days ago so it shouldnt be asking for me to update any thing on firefox. for some reason when i tired to research the problem it says all forms of flash are now considered vulnerable and not useable with firefox. it says that these things were changed as of july 13th 2015 and when i read that all versions of flash were no longer supported i thought to my self " so fire fox doesnt support any web page at all as most webpages use flash for something" please help me fix this
at the bottom of the page is says they have made educated guesses about my current brower and opperating system these are the details they gave me when i clicked that link

hello, flash 18.0.0.203 is vulnerable to serious security vulnerabilities - that's why it is blocked in firefox. adobe has released another update to address that issue very recently. please download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (for firefox use the .exe installer for "plugin-based" browsers)
Flash Player 18.0.0.209 is the current "latest" version; it was released earlier today - 07/14/2015.
k i laoded firefox and it auto updated im just not sure why they would have a firefox update that causes flash to be useless and then have flash make a new update after firefox rejects it
i just updated to the newest flash it did not work fire fox still says that flash is not supported just like apple doesnt support flash
