In the thread "2.19 and Shockwave 11.8.800.94", Thee Chicago Wolf
mentioned that a new version of Shockwave Flash (11.8.800.115) is
available. When I go to Tools->Add-on Manager and select "Plugins", it
tells me my Shockwave Flash (10.0.r22) has known vulnerabilities and I
should update and provides a link "Update Now", but clicking on that
link takes me to....

Adobe Flash for Linux 10.3.182.* and lower (click-to-play) has been
blocked for your protection.
and I'm still on an old Shockwave Flash!!
How do I get the newer/newest version??
TIA
Linux? What OS do you use? Windows or Linux?
Because Linux has 11.2 as the latest (and last) Adobe Flash Player
version. Adobe wont upgrade it further on LInux save security patches.
In any case, if you want to download the latest flash, open google,
search for flash player, go to the adobe download site (it is between
the first search results), select your OS and download and install. Make
sure you untick the additional software button.
"What OS do you use? Windows or Linux?" .... Well, in fact, both!!
Currently Linux, but dual boot Win7.
O.K., so Thee Chicago Wolf might have been on a Windows OS, so found the
11.8.800.115 version of Shockwave Flash. but if there is an 11.2 version
of Shockwave Flash available, why doesn't the
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/blocked/p330 page eventually
allow me to get to the 11.2 download page??
(Thanks for doing the search for me. I almost always forget that!!)
Clicking the "Check to see if you plugins are up to date" link under
Add-ons Manager > Plugins, takes me to
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/> where I'm told my Shockwave
Flash 11.2r202 is vulnerable.
Which is interesting because I have the current version 11.2.202.297
installed.
Clicking the "Update Now" button takes me to
<http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/> where I can select a Yum, tar.gz, or
RPM version of Adobe Flash Player version 11.2.202.297 to download, and
install.
I just wait for updates from my OS software management system.
Thanks, Walt, that has gotten me a little further ... I had been
clicking the "Update Now" in the Shockwave section of the Add-ons
Manager > Plugins screen, not noticing the "Check to see if you plugins
are up to date" link towards the top of that screen.
Then, because I had the "Advertise Firefox" set in Preferences, when I
clicked the right link, it must have thought I was on FF and it searched
and it searched ...., so I turned off the "Advertise Firefox" function,
so now when I click the "Check to see ...." link, it gave me the links
to both Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader.
