Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player

Thanks for the heads up, flash updated here :)

I used the "Check What Version..." button in the 'top post.' (I don't understand why it is dated 04 Nov 2008 but announces:
Version: 15.0.0.189
Date Released: October 15th 2014


I navigated to the last page and found this opportunity to reply here.



https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

told me that I had version 15,0,0,152 for Firefox installed. I asked that it be updated and it took me through what seemed like a slow download and install routine. I ended up here in an IE 11 window:

Adobe - Download Adobe Flash Player


where I was told:


The 'Java(tm) Plug-In SSV Helper' add-on from 'Oracle America, Inc.' is ready for use.



and asked if I wanted to enable or disable.


I thought I'd downloaded Adobe Flash not Java. I also passed on the 'opportunity' to include a McAfee 'Security Scan Plus' product but saw nothing about a Google toolbar.


Why can't the process of downloading and installing an update be a simple process to download and install the offered update?


If Adobe knew I use FireFox (SeaMonkey) as my browser why did it open IE 11?


Is the 'Java(tm) Plug-In SSV Helper' software important or just bloatware that came with this update without an opt-in/opt-out?


thanks

Hello baumgrenze -

I found it's easiest and safest to go directly to Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player and just uncheck any offered add-ons (middle section.) Doesn't matter if you're updating IE or Firefox, this website will automatically recognize which browser you're updating and install the correct version.
