Issue with Adobe Flash
Error message about Adobe Flash
Yahoo Finance the videos are showing a message that we need the latest Adobe Flash Player to view them. My computer already has Adobe Flash 32.0.0.114 which is the latest per the Adobe web site. Please get these incompetent programmers to fix the issue. Also Yahoo should be advised that Adobe Flash will be discontinued by the end of 2020 .. So your video creators should start moving things over to the current method of HTML5 ... Also there is a link to get the new Adobe Flash on the video screen, but being wary about clicking on it as I do not know if it is safe or maybe a virus link.
When I posted this the first time, I got a canned response about how to check the Flash Player version, which I had already done and mentioned in my above post. The problem arose again this morning and the Adobe site says that I have the latest Flash Player installed. Also the so called responder, did not address the issue that Yahoo should be moving videos to HTML5 format as that is the newest standard and Adobe Flash will cease to exist at the end of 2020

This is another canned response. That help page is totally useless, as seems to be most of Yahoo help. The issue is not that Flash Does Not Work for me. The issue, is some idiot is making Videos with an embedded message that says "Flash Player Is Out Of Date" and yet when I check it on Adobe, they say the version I have 32.0.0.114 is the latest version (browser is Firefox) .. And as mentioned, Yahoo should switch to HTML 5 video as Flash will soon be obsolete.
