Hello, I'm trying to see my plug-ins and it tells me to go to the Menu, then choose add-ons, and then click the plug-in tab which I would do, but having a Mac and checking up topside I don't have anything of that as a choice. What can I do? thank you, WW

To check if all your plugins are up-to-date, go to the Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each yellow or red button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Thank you Andrew. Unfortunately, they are updated for as much as they can. So I never saw what you talked about. Here is the original thing that is causing me trouble on all my Macs that all use FireFox. Thanks for if you have more ideas!

Hmmm.. Maybe just press the "Activate Adobe Flash" button. Otherwise, you could try uninstalling all traces of Adobe Flash on your computer, then trying to reinstall it to see if it helps.

Yes, Andrew! I uninstalled it and re-installed and then checked a couple of sites and for whatever reason bada-bing! Danke!

I'll have to check it on my other Macs too.

Flash 10.2.183.90 is most certainly not up to date as the Plugin check page is not reliable especially when there is new Flash updates in short time and has not been manually updated yet.
