For those who have/use them:
Adobe AIR has been updated to 26.0.0.118 https://get.adobe.com/air/
Adobe Shockwave has been updated to 12.2.9.199 https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/shockwave/apsb17-18.html
===================
REMARK: Over the past few months, I've often had problems downloading AIR (and shockwave). In my case, it turns out that the downloads were being blocked by uBlock-Origin. To get around this in FF/PM, go to Tools/Add-Ons/Extensions, scroll down to uBlock Origin, select Options/Show Dashboard/Whitelist, and add https://get.adobe.com/air/ ,and Apply Changes.

Was offered 14 updates today for Win 7 Pro+SP1, 32-bit system, including a Win 7 roll-up, some for Microsoft Office, one .Net, and an MSE definitions update.
Ran the updates and got this result:
Can somebody explain how updates were successfully installed but 14 updates were Not needed...??? The only one installed today is the MSE definitions update, but none of the others. And since I was offered 14 and 1 got installed, why doesn't it say "13 not needed?"
And here's the kicker... I reran WU again and it says "13 important updates available" and "1 optional update".
What the...??? :emotion-12:

For what it's worth, Firefox claims its newest version is much faster (and less crash-prone) than before:

Update:
WU continues to nag me to install this week's updates so I relented and tried again today. 14 updates got installed this time. So they went from "Not needed" to "installed".
I don't understand... :emotion-7:
