Firefox 21 tells me I should update to Adobe Reader 10.1.7 despite already doing so, and this mismatch is not the first time this has happened, but why?
This refers to the Plugins section and the updating option. In two previous versions of Firefox the plugins check tells me I need to update to a specific version of Adobe Reader, despite the fact I have laready done so. Does this mean Firefox is vulnerable, or Reader? Is it a problem or just a software glitch. Bearing in mind the complexity of Reader (which I need for work related reasons) I hope this doesn't indicate a serious issue rather than a transient one.

hello, i think this is just a glitch in the plugin check website - your system details also show that you're using adobe reader 10.1.7 which is the most up-to-date version available for windows vista, so you can safely ignore the warning on mozilla's plugin-check page (which is likely looking for reader version 11.0.3 which adobe hasn't made available for windows vista though).

Many thanks for that. Sounds entirely reasonable to me. It's not actually causing any problems that I can see but I don't like browsers throwing up issues that make no sense! Will see if it disappears in subsequent versions of Firefox. all best.
