[arch-general] Firefox showing flashplugin as outdated although it's not

For the last few days, firefox started showing the following message when
trying to run flash content:

"Firefox has prevented the outdated plugin "Adobe Flash" from running on
..."

I'm running a fully updated os and the package doesn't seem outdated, so I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

About:plugins information
Shockwave FlashFile: libflashplayer.soPath:

Have any of you experienced a similar issue?

Thanks.
