1292111 2012-08-01 09:33:00 Since I have changed to the latest version of Firefox, I find that the Adobe Flash Auto update no longer works, and further to that I cannot manually download the latest updates.
Any ideas please,

Ken

1292112 2012-08-01 09:38:00 Try another browser to get it manually. I would uninstall it keep the data etc then reinstall FF. If that doesnt work, uninstall it delete its folders then reinstall it. Sounds like something is stuffed Speedy Gonzales (78)

When you reinstall tick the option not to inform you of updates is my advice.

These installs are clean and will not try to install crap, just run the uninstaller with all browsers closed then install the two versions and tick the option not to update or advise of updates available, easy-peasy.

1292116 2012-08-01 11:56:00 Yup, if you get it to check for updates, it can slow your system down. I would change it to never / dont check for updates Speedy Gonzales (78)

That's probably not a good idea with something that is such a big vector for pwnage.

1292118 2012-08-01 12:56:00 You can still get it manually. But if you want to it to slow your system down, go for it, let it update Speedy Gonzales (78)
1292119 2012-08-01 13:17:00 The auto update is a recent feature that has been added and has caused a lot of problems including not updating correctly, I repair and update quite a few computers and it has caused problems for me with erroneous fault messages which cannot be stopped the only solution is as above.

I have got a number of calls from clients saying they have an update error message and I have seen it myself as well and so far no successful update without assistance.
