Hello every one I installed the official flash plugin from adobe
About Plugins tells me:
Datei: libflashplayer.so Pfad: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11.2.202.577 Status: Aktiviert (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE) Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202But it is:
strings /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | grep 616 FlashPlayer_11_2_202_616_FlashPlayer LNX 11,2,202,616 11.2.202.616 drm/%s/%s/%s/11.2.202.616%s
Any ideas?
On my 3 CentOS 6.5 systems here (all up-to-date), only one shows '577' whereas 616 is installed and the 577 binary has gone. Strange, I still didn't get how to "fix" this, even if doesn't sound overcritical to me.
Cause is the file "pluginreg.dat" in the Firefox profile folder. It stores the version info, but upon updates of the flashplayer, some times it will not get updated. Two ways to 'cure' that:
a) Uninstall flash, (Re-)start Firefox, close Firefox, install new version, start Firefox. (Due to the 'absence' of flash, the 'pluginreg.dat' gets removed, and afterwards it will get recreated with the new info)
b) Close firefox, remove 'pluginreg.dat', update flashplayer, start firefox
