Firefox question - DP - 03-29-2012
Going to my email this AM I get this:
I have FF 11.0 and it is Yahoo Edition 1.8. Knowing how some of you all feel about it should I click on it and update Flash?

if you think you need the new Flash player, go straight to the Adobe site without clicking the link.

What decay said - DO NOT click on email links.
Re: Firefox question - decay - 03-29-2012
that might be a Yahoo site window... but still, i'd play it safe.
Re: Firefox question - DP - 03-29-2012
OK, thanx. This is the first time I've seen this ever so I thought I'd check. It's on my email window not an email itself so I think it's from FF or Yahoo.

check your Firefox plugin versions with this page:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
it will show green for up-to-date, orange/red for outdated, and gray for unknown.
you can also look in your hard drive & check the versions

Silly question 1: Did you install the new Flash pluging after downloading it?
Silly question 2: Do you have a Flash-blocker add-on installed?

Silly answer 1: Yes. I closed FF and installed it then restarted.
Silly answer 2: Not that I know of. This is the first time I have ever seen this notification in all the years I've been using Firefox and Yahoo!
Sorry-I type fast. What I wrote last was meant to read that I still get the window saying my browser is blocking Flash.

do you have any 3rd party Firefox extensions that you can disable?
NoScript?
i have a bunch of extensions and i logged into Yahoo mail with no window.
