Never believe a Pop-up from anywhere that says need to update your Flash. If all others were working then did not need a update.

Always get your updates from Adobe : Flash Player Version: 27.0.0.187 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

you didn't read

I went to ADOBE and did so I have enough sense to not click on popups that say to update flash anyhow this is a FACEBOOK generated video, on facebook, not an ad on a porn site.

Your padding your answer count with needless anti virus panic is not helpful

I'll also add that there was no pop-up, this was a message embedded in the facebook video player frame, its a standard message thats been around as long as FB video.

The real question is why was flash being blocked on a well known platform that uses an abundance of flash, and why is the blocking random, as in some videos are blocked and some are not, and why is firefox disabling flash on facebook too, because thats what caused the upgrade message, the fact that the video player couldn't see the flash plugin.

I had to turn off the process that blocks the plugin and then actually activate it, so in a sense firefox double blocked flash on facebook

That was rude. You are correct I missed the word adobe in low case. or would not have sent the malware info. Pop-up was not explained as embedded. Not all people use FB so I would not know that. Do not assume. This is not a FB forum, why not ask that question there since it was generated there. Support Volunteers are here to help and not be abused with padded stats...right.

you're deflecting and still not reading.

its not a FB issue because FB is not the one disabling flash, firefox is

so lets start again

Fifefox disabled flash on a flash heavy well known site because of the option in the plugin settings "block dangerous and intrusive flash" which is obviously not working as designed was set to on by default. This caused the facebook player to (rightly) advise me to upgrade because it couldnt read the flash version data because the plugin was disabled by firefox.

I could understand this if it was global, as in flash was blocked across the ENTIRE facebook platform, but no, it was only disabled on some videos that firefox deemed to be intrusive even though other auto generated videos (as in its an automated video creation tool created by facebook that assembles videos of your activity) were not deemed to be intrusive.

My question is, is this disabling feature working as intended? why is it behaving in a random fashion
