So a vulnerability was found on Flash that made Firefox disable the Flashplayer until people updated their plugin. Adobe released an updated version of the last non-Chrome version of Flashplugin for the update but I seemed to be running into some issues with the browser not picking up the latest version. So, what I did was re-download the latest version of Adobe flashplayer. Then, I copied libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and /var/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. Then, restarted Firefox and checked the add-ons. Finally the latest version was recognized. Back to regular programming.

Firefox and 64-bit Flash
Just a teeny tiny note here. I realized when I download Firefox from the official website, my 64-bit flash player plugin stop working. As it turns out, Firefox is giving me 32-bit versions of the browser.
To get the 64-bit versions, check here:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-x86_64/en-US/
Another note is that Flashplayer 11.2 has a bug where nvidia users get inverted colours. Seems to be related to the hardware acceleration. Just decided to downgrade instead.
