I clicked the link to update flash player but then it says "installing Mcafe" and installing a few something. And there's no option to disable it! I want to update flash without being forced to install stupid programs!

Download install

You have to give permission for it to install other programmes as per the attached example:

Try downloading from here:

Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions

Ok it works from that link. I clicked the update link from firefox addons earlier which didn't have the option. Great

Install older version of Flash Player
Launch Firefox and go to about:addons
Firefox detected the old version of Flash and displayed the following:
I clicked the Update Now link, in the upper right
The following page displayed
I clicked the 'on Adobe's Flash page' link
I was redirected to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer (one of the official Flash Player download pages), that clearly shows the optional offers:
