Visiting https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ shows that I should update my flash plugin from 11.2 r202 which (according to the site) is vulnerable, to a newer version. I have, more accurately, installed 11.2.202.285 on my machine (yes, I restarted firefox a short time ago). Still, though the page shows me a notice to upgrade to a version which does not exist.

Where do you get the version information from? Just because 11.2 ist the last version for linux, it doesn't mean it istn't up-to-date (adobe provides sec-updates according to their site http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html)

Yes, Flash 11.2.202.285 is the latest version for Linux, so you can ignore this "Update Now".

You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

Yes, but the warning should be disabled IMHO!

For what it's worth, I still see the same problem in version 22.0 (albeit with the latest Linux x86_64 release of the Flash plugin from Adobe). Here are my system details...


From Firefox about: page: 

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0


cat /etc/centos-release: 

CentOS release 6.4 (Final)


uname -r: 

2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64


yum list adobe-release-x86_64 flash-plugin: 

adobe-release-x86_64.noarch  1.0-1  @/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch
flash-plugin.x86_64  11.2.202.291-release  @adobe-linux-x86_64


ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: 

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 Jul  7 19:29 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
