Re: Firefox and flash plugin

[Konstantin Svist]

I keep hitting this issue, too..
The problem happens when you dnf update flash-plugin while firefox is
running. Firefox writes its cache of plugin info, pluginreg.dat, on quit
-- but it uses the in-memory info to do that. In the case above, the old
version number is written to the cache file.

To fix the problem, remove your pluginreg.dat file from
~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE.DIR/  (PROFILE.DIR is different on each system)
