Getting notified of Adobe Flash updates

Question

I am using the latest version of Firefox with Adobe Flash plugin as a standard user on Windows 7.

I notice that I do not get notified of a pending update unless I happen to close and reopen my browser, which is something I do seldom.

Given the security risk unpatched flash poses, is there any way I can be notified of Flash updates while flash/Firefox is running?

Answer 1

There is a plugin (of course) that allows better management of browser and plugin updates. I do not know if it has the ability to configure the frequency of update check, but it's probably worth a look:
