New Mac user as of last week. When trying to get on web sites used previously, told to download Adobe Flash Drive. Was told Mac did not require Adobe. True or not? Found there is a download for Yosemite that came out last month. Do I download it or not?

Hello and welcome to the forum! :) If a browser site uses the Adobe Flash Player to run media that you want to see, then you'll need to obtain the software - I have it installed on my MBPro laptop and my wife's iMac; but make sure that your obtain the download package from the Adobe website HERE.

Since you are running Yosemite, an icon will be placed in the bottom pane of your 'System Preferences' opening dialog box (see attachment, blue arrow) - if there, then you have successfully installed the player - you can also check there to see if updates are available (a frequent occurrence, unfortunately).

Yes, some sites can be quite fussy about the Adobe Flash update and their latest Version 17.0.0.188 was just released Date: 13 May 2015

It seems that I had just recently updated the last 17.0.0.169 version just recently that was released April 14, 2015, if not some interim version in between. Fast and furious and almost monthly lately if not sooner updates it seems.
