Q: Latest version of Flash Player for 10.6.8?

Just to let you, booted to my 10.6, I DLd and reinstalled the 23.0.0.162 directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

It reinstalled without any complaints or problems. Not sure why Adobe is saying only for 10.9 and above.

Thanks for letting me know. Sounds like it's going to work for me. I may try that Classic Theme Restorer as well that you mentioned earlier.

CTR is definitely a must have for undoing the atrocity that Mozilla has turned Firefox into. Also if you want to get back the old buttons and icons that were stupidly removed with FF 29/Australis, get the addon Stylish (another indispensable one.) Instead of everything floating around in the FF menubar and addon bar, this will get back the old look.

With Stylish installed, simply hit the Write New Style button, paste in the code below (courtesy Aris, the developer of CTR, with a very few tweaks of my own) give it a title, and hit Save. (If you don't like it, just use disable or remove.)

Re. the Flash Player min. requirements of 10.9, someone I know who is pretty knowledgeable about this stuff thinks that it may or may not continue working in 10.6, with future Flash versions. Seems to be OK for the time being though.
