Latest flash player still says "Outdated version" in Firefox

jrdioko · 05-07-2011, 08:55 PM

I'm using flashplayer-nonfree in Debian, and have run "update-flashplugin-nonfree --install". Going to the version checker (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) says "You have version 10,2,159,1 installed". However, when I go to the Firefox plugin checker (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/) it says Shockwave Flash is using an outdated version that needs to be updated. When I follow the update link, the version it wants me to download is "Adobe Flash Player version 10.2.159.1". Any idea what's going on here?

I have no idea what's going on, but I have seen this before on various platforms. The left plugin doesn't know what the right plugin is doing.

I am confident that, whatever is causing this, it's nothing on your machine--the cause is out there somewhere.
