    Adobe installs a "Adobe update" scheduled task in windows that runs hourly. You will have to delete or disable the scheduled task for the pop up to go away. This is just a workaround and not a solution.

    In Win XP go to Control Panel=>Scheduled tasks and disable/delete the Adobe update task.

    You might also have to stop and disable the "Adobe Flash Player Update Service" in Control Panel=>Administrative Tools=>Services as mentioned before

    Just set it to NEVER................

    I have having Flash problems in FF v13, and was hoping FF v14 would remedy the problem, along with the latest version of Flash. The Flash player is a great memory hog, takes ages before I can play a video, and crashes when I go to fullscreen - to stop the fullscreen crashing, I turned off hardware acceleration within the Flash settings.

    I think I will just downgrade Flash to v11.2, which seemed to work just fine for me.

    I had the same problem trying to play videos in Youtube, with latest Firefox and Adobe. Found the solution on Mozilla, was to downgrade Adobe.

    Scroll to bottom of page : Flash 11.3 Crashes.

    Hope this helps.
