Don't want to disparage the truth of that statement, but not the most
helpful answer!

I don't know how to update ff flashplugin but Google chrome has a more
up-to-date flashplugin shipped as default with it, that I sometimes use
when sites say ff is outta date!

I have tried without any sucsess to link ff to Google chromes flash player!

Not an ideal answer but should help you play the game!

Hope you win!
