My flash install is showing 616 both in the binary and as reported from "about:plugins". When I've had reason to look at this the past things were always in sync. My standard approach is to make certain that all instances of my FF version that uses flash are closed before I install from the adobe repo. I've never had to uninstall/reinstall the plugin. I agree with generally trying to avoid flash (and cookies and javascript) so have different FF versions and instances that I use based on what is needed and what I'm willing to allow a site to use. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
