Question

I had a notice of a Firewall breach from the adobe flash player installer/uninstaller. I blocked it but could you tell me what it was so I can know what it's about and go from there.

There's not enough information to give you a useful answer.  "Firewall Breach" doesn't tell me anything useful.  I'd need to know what the technical specifics are of the request that your security tool found objectionable.

The ONLY authorized way to get Flash Player https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer

If you receive a notice that you need to update while visiting a web page, and a link pops up, that is MOST LIKELY a site that has been hacked and what you are seeing is not an official Adobe link

If you think you need to update, go to the link above
