My version of 11.2 is 11.2.202.310, which is version downloaded from the 
Adobe web site. I've also heard that Adobe are not releasing any future 
version of flash for Linux (has that state changed?) plus they were 
winding back development of flash for windows in favor of html 5.
I checked about:plugins and my version of flash is showing   State: 
Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)
Removal of pluginreg.dat made no difference, plus like Robert I get the 
flash issue on a lot of websites and on a lot of sites firefox refuses 
to play the flash on the grounds that flash is a security risk, until I 
allow the execution.
