Adobe Flash Player plugins are always vulnerable due to the nature of the program, I doubt that's the issue here. Same for Java. These are the two most exploited programs by malware, so it's normal to tag them as such. Did you try to simply empty your Flash cache and see if your game was working? Temp File Cleaner (TFC), can do that.

That link does not work for me. It takes me to Bleepingcomputer.com and says Downloading TFC but it is not downloading anything. Is that tool about the same as just me going to my (History, Clear History, and Delete Everything but Active Logins) ?

I searched TFC in the search on that page and downloaded it. Question, Will this tool delete my logins or personal files before i run it?

You'll have to re-login in your websites, forums, etc. after running TFC, yes. Can you try playing your game again now and see if it works?

Sweet! *It* actually let me into a game....Lol,  So that tool is different than just cleaning my history.... Is it ok to leave this TFC on my computer and if so is there a problem in using it to much?

There's no problem on leaving it on your system. I don't think it's being updated anymore. If it is and a new version is released, I think it'll tell you about it and asks you to download the latest one. Any other issues related to Firefox that needs to be addressed? :)
