If anyone else is having the issue where the Flash install is asking you to close Safari when you know it's closed, try this:


1. Open activity monitor: Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor

2. Find a process called WebkitPluginAgent and force that to quit.

3. Then retry the flash install.


The above solution fixed the problem for me in OS X 10.10.1 . You can force it to quit by clicking the X in the upper left corner of the Activity Monitor window. After selecting WebkitPluginAgent.
