FF in the Add-ons-> Plug-Ins shows Shockwave Flash is vulnerable and needs update. When I select "update", FF blocks the update because "Shockwave Flash is vulnerable"!! (See attachments) What is Mozilla doing?

I had difficulty updating from V205 to V207 a few days ago on 2 PC's. It went through the update process and it stayed at 205 several times. Cyberfox refused to allow the old version to run without repeated warnings. Rebooted and tried again and they eventually updated to 207. Never seen that issue previously.
I download using these links:
IE for Windows 7 and lower
For non-IE browsers, except Chrome

Possibly the issue would not exist if I gave permission to automatically allow updates, but that just isn't happening.
I've been unable to install Flash in Firefox. Nothing happens when I double click on the download. I've tried to 'run as administrator' from the containing folder but nothing happens.
FF finally dropped the warning. It's now showing the Flash level as 23.0.0.207
