Well, the same happened with the mono plugin moonlight. It was unmaintained and left by deverlopers, and the solution before one decided to drop it was to reintall the plugin after firefox has done its check on updates. That had to be done every time firefox got updated. By definition flashplugin is stuck in an old outdated version (which is perhaps what firefox complains about): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/browser_plugins#Adobe_Flash_Player https://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/02/adobe-and-google-partnering-for-... As such, and there are many things depending on flash still, one alternative is freshplayerplugin-git (from AUR) combined with chromium-pepper-flash (from AUR), and firefox has no problems with them. Notice freshplayerplugin is also available, but seemed orphaned: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-pepper-flash https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freshplayerplugin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freshplayerplugin-git -- Javier.

I was already on 425 (and restarting firefox didn't help), so I uninstalled, restarted firefox, then closed firefox, reinstalled, and when I started firefox the next time it was fixed. Thanks, On Sun, 14 Dec 2014, Eli Schwartz wrote:

I got that message too, so I updated to the next minor version (424-->425) and restarted Firefox. All was well with the world. :)

Mozilla's plugin check reported it as up-to-date even beforehand, for some odd reason.

Make sure you restarted the browser. Otherwise it will still be using .424

I'm running a fully updated os and the package doesn't seem outdated, so I think it's a problem with firefox reading the flash plugin version wrong.

Packages:

➜ pacman -Q flashplugin firefox flashplugin 11.2.202.425-1 firefox 34.0.5-1
