adobe flash not able to update?

I use firefox as my main browsers, used to use chrome but for the most part i use firefox.

Google chrome seems to update the flashlite etc.. automatically within their browser but firefox doesn't.

I did not start getting this issue until about 2 days ago where firefox just keeps prompting me to update to the newest version of shockwave flash ( i have 11.1 i think). So most of the websites videos don't load up for me to play them ( such as youtube).

I go to the top tab on top of the browser where it says ''firefox'' and from the drop down menu i pick '' add ons'' from there is only notes that i should update the shockwave flash but i can't.

When i click on '' update now'' it just takes me to this page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p160. The thing is it mentions its blocking adobe flash 10.2 < but yet i am running 11.1..

Anyways i try to go to the main page where i can download the plugin directly but i still can't because its not there..

A page on firefox directs me to the adobe site and where to get the plugin so i go here https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. However like i mentioned previously i cannot see a download button for the plugin.

This is all i see on the page section to download the newest version

''Adobe Flash Player 11.6.602.180 (15.7 MB)

Your system: Windows 64-bit , English, Firefox
Do you have a different operating system or browser?

I just to want update this plugin so firefox stops acting up every time i turn it on.

 

Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player...ms-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_header

 

Another thing i wanted to ask is how much CPU usage is supposed to be used when using a browser?

Because lately it seems to take anywhere from 28-40% which seems excessive. I ran virus scans already too and everything came clean.

In the task manager the only notable thing taking a chunk of the cpu is firefox which is around 340,000 K which i am not sure if its normal. I never payed attention to this before until i started hearing my fan running more while just simply using the browser.

 

I couldn't find any download from that page you listed. The only thing i saw was a hyperlink for the adobe newest plugin, which is the same page i previously mentioned was near useless to me because there is no download button.

The yellow '' download now'' button i don't see it displayed in my page.

 

There are two download links (one for Internet Explorer, one for other browsers) under the heading Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile.

 

Thanks it fixed the issue, and also since i updated the flash player my browser is not eating a chunk of my cpu anymore.

For the past 3 days it was eating anywhere from 25-38% of it by simply just browsing regular pages, and the fan was noisy. Now my cpu fan is quiet, and the browser drains no more than 5% cpu in most cases.
