I can't disable ScratchPad -- it opens over and over again. I'm going to quit using Firefox if this can't be resolved. It is soooooooooooooooooo annoying!
Scratchpad opens constantly. and I have to close it and tell it I don't need to save whatever it thinks is on it! I want to TURN OFF developer tools - I am not a developer.
How do I stop this annoying Scratchpad from opening constantly!

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Fred again update your generic clipboard reply for Flash Player as those Flash versions are the previous versions.
22.0.0.209 (Win & Mac) and 11.2.202.632 (Linux) have been the current since July 12.
Also for Windows users especially the https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (will be up till Fall sometime?) is the better place to download Flash Player from as Windows users can get bundled stuff if not careful on get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
