I think this issue has been going on for over a month now.

I boot my PC and the Adobe Updater tells me to download a new version of Flash. It sends me to https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/update/plugin/ with the following information visible:

Version 11.9.900.152

Your system:

Windows, English

The Update Now button simply links to http://www.adobe.com/

  • I've cleared my cache, that didn't help.
  • The Are you an IT manager or OEM links me to a page where I can either Apply to distribute Flash Player or Download Adobe Flash Player, the latter just sends me back to where I came from.
  • I've uninstalled and rebooted, went to the Adobe website and clicked Adobe Flash Player under the Download menu. The Install now button again links me to http://www.adobe.com/
  • Need Flash Player for a different computer? sends me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ and the Download now button is greyed out and unclickable.

How can I update?

  • So far you've just stated what you see, but not included what you've tried or where you're getting stuck. Have you cover the basics? Have you tried clearing the browser's cache? Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Flash? Have you tried using the full installer (the "Are you an IT manager or OEM" link should help you get that)? Dec 9, 2013 at 18:04
  • @techie007 I'd say I'm stuck at the updating part. I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I'll do that now. Regarding the other two questions, I've updated my post.

  • @techie007 I've uninstalled and now I cannot install Flash at all, see the edit.

  • What version of Flash do you currently have installed?

  • Have you tried a reboot after uninstalling it? BTW: If you "apply to distribute flash player" you can get your hands on the full installer. You just have to fill that form out to get it, not pay money or anything. ;) Dec 9, 2013 at 18:16

The cause of the issue was the Ghostery addon for Firefox. Pausing the blocking gives me a proper URL to download the installer.

On http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ a few dropdowns appeared after pausing the blocking letting me pick an OS and a version.

You can download the Flash installer from the Flash Player - Different Versions (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/) page.

Make sure to select your OS and browser from the list.

  • I was about to add (I've just rebooted), I had found that page but the button is greyed out and I cannot click it.

    Did you select the correct version on the left?

    See my answer, apparently Ghostery was blocking that part. Thanks for trying to help!
