How to Keep Your Flash Plugin Up to Date

SafeBytes Software

Adobe Flash Player is one of the few programs that are used by so many people across the globe that the internet would be a different place without them. Flash allows you to, through your browser, watch videos and other content on your computer. It is important, therefore, for you to make sure that the plugin is kept up to date in order for you to continue enjoying the multimedia content that is available on the internet.

Keeping Flash Plugin Up to Date

Browsers, such as Firefox, do not update any of the plugins that are installed on them. That is why it is important for you take measures to ensure that every one of the plugins that are installed on your PC is kept up to date. Not doing so opens your computer to security vulnerabilities and other performance-related issues.

Visit the Plugin Test Page

In order to see whether or not the version of Flash Player that you have installed on your computer is working properly, all that you need to do is visit the Flash Test Page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. If there are any problems with Flash on your computer, the page will tell you.

Manually Updating Flash

Although the Flash Plugin has been designed to automatically update itself, you may begin to get notices from your browser telling you that you are using an outdated version of the software. If this happens, you may need to manually update Flash Player on your browser. In order to do so, all that you need to do is go to the Flash Player download page: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.

Choosing the desired options and following the installation prompts allows you to download first, the Flash Download Manager and then the Flash Player itself onto your computer. Once the program has been installed on your PC, all that you need to do in order to get going is restart your browser.
