Using Mozilla Firefox 46.0.1 browser with MacBook OS.X 10.6.8. My software is updated, but I do not want to install Yosemite or ElCapitan first, which I'm told will be unstable on my old MacBook. I disabled the plug-in for Open H264 Video Codec but can enable it if need be. Thank you for your help in advance.

Thank you, Fred McD, for responding.

However, it's telling me the link is to an outdated and vulnerable link for Adobe. Candygrammy

That is not what shows for me. It tells me what version I am using, and the current versions available.


Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 21.0.0.242 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2.202.621
