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.
