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 r202

But 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
