Re: strange firefox issue

    This did the trick.  Why I can't remove plugins via the tools menu,
    but can remove add-ons, seems wrong.

    
    Thanks,

            Folks,

                I have 2 systems running FC22.  Both are at the latest
              updates. On one system firefox shows I have flash version
              11.2.202.521 installed.  This is the latest version
              available from Adobe.  On the other system firefox tells
              me I have an out of date version of flash 11.2.202.508. 
              This is, however, wrong.  I have 11.2.202.521 installed. 
              I have verified this by downloading the latest flash tar
              file from Adobe and doing an md5sum on the one from the
              tar file and the one installed in
              /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so. They both have
              the same checksum.  The link in ~/.mozilla/plugins points
              to /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so so the
              correct version should be pulled in.  I tried removing the
              link in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory and re-starting
              firefox, but it still shows I have 11.2.202.508
              installed.  Even after I restore the link and restart
              firefox it still shows I have 508 installed.

              
              How do I get firefox to pickup the correct version of
              flash?

              
              Any help is appreciated.

                
            Close Firefox, edit
              ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiledir*/pluginreg.dat

              
            Remove all content in [PLUGINS] section, starting from
              "libflashplayer.so" to "FutureSplash Player"

              
            Start Firefox.
