Obvious question: Had you shutdown and restarted Firefox after updating
the plugin?
By the way if you update your flash-plugin via yum using the adobe repo it
is easy to see if you have the same issue as I had by simply going to
about:plugins and seeing whether you have more than one entry for the flash
plugin? I would be interested to know if anyone else sees this, and whether
or not this also happens if updating the flash plugin by other methods like
manually updating by downloading the install file?
In my case it happened on all machines - some running f11 and others f12 -
but every machine where I install and update flash-plugin by setting the
adobe-linux-i386.repo file to contain:
[adobe-linux-i386]
name=Adobe Systems Incorporated
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
this always happens. This is installable from the rpm at
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch...
Anyway - anyone else see this issue?
