I keep getting the same message & installing updated flash player has no effect. Let's hope a fellow member has advice.
I read that a lot of experts now recommend uninstalling Flash altogether from your computer. Firefox has automatically blocked it, and others seem to be following suit.
Flash is used to display some of the advertising content.
I update my flash plugin and the message went away.
Go to the addons/plugins menu. All the plugins will be listed and it will let you know if they are out of date or enabled.
I think Flash is dead, browsers are dropping support of it, I use Win IE and it still works there but some of the websites we've created for clients in the past are now losing the animated features because different browser can't handle it or are dropping it completely. A recent update of my smart phone no longer has support for flash and there are no apps available for the new OS in the LG 3G to make flash viewable, so yesterday I started removing all flash from our websites. That's progress I guess, like it or not, I don't, as it will cost me several hours editing sites and a few irate clients until Adobe figures out what to do, Adobe EDGE is on the horizon as the replacement using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript code for animation but the full release and support for EDGE is a year away.

T here is another update available. Firefox will re enable it of you install the latest.
The previous update was released July 1. The new one was released after that. They are working on the problems.

Are you on a Mac? Running OS X? I kept getting the same warning and googled the problem. Found a solution on the Apple Forums that worked. I think I needed to reinstall an older version of Flash.
I got the message on my screen that the flash player was disabled... Updated flash, no joy. But from what little wording there was, it was obviously a security issue.
Ran security program and found there was a trojan installed on my system.
I also found a *.exe file in my download folder, that I did not download. Both the trojan and the .exe file are gone, and security program is running again, just in case...
Flash has been a security hole for years and with all the world-wide hacks working hard to get into our computers Adobe is dropping it for something safer. Installing older browsers and older versions of Adobe Flash is asking for problems, hope no one gets any viruses from doing that.
HTML5 and CSS3 is the new way for animated content and it's compatible with all new browsers and operating systems, and yes, the hacks will find a way around it but your virus prevention software will have a much easier time finding trojans and viruses and keeping them out of your system.
