Hi, i am having a problem i have not encountered untill now..

I keep getting this "update required" message when i want to watch a video on Facebook, but everywhere else it works fine, i installed the latest version but it still pops up this same message whenever i want to watch something..

This is only happening on Facebook and nowhere else, does anyone know what could be the problem and maybe have a solution to it?

I am using an ASUS laptop running Windows 8 , and using Chrome as my browser

Thank you in advance

    Google Chrome includes a built-in Flash Player and is always up to date, as long as Chrome is allowed to install automatic updates.

    If it's specific to a website or a handful of sites, it's probably just bad Flash Player detection code, which they would need to fix.

    if you're seeing it everywhere and you're on your home network, you might want to restart your wifi router and then install the latest available firmware for it.

    Variants of this continue to pop up and spread:
