Firefox and flash-plugin on F20
I have a strange happening. On my F19.x86_64 home server, I have both firefox-34.0-1.fc19.x86_64 and the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed. About:plugins shows that it is the correct plugin, and all seems to work as expected. On my F20.x86_64 laptop, again, I have both firefox-38.0.5-1.fc20.x86_64 and the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed. About:plugins however shows that version 11.2.202.466 is the current installed version of the flash plugin being used by firefox. A quick look at my systems shows that there are only 2 libflashplayer.so files: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so And a quick check of both of them shows: strings /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so | grep 11.2.202 FlashPlayer_11_2_202_468_FlashPlayer LNX 11,2,202,468 11.2.202.468 drm/%s/%s/%s/11.2.202.468%s So, if the file in the location that firefox about:plugins shows that it is 11.2.202.468, then why does firefox say it is: Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Path: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11.2.202.466 State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE) Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 This is weird! -- Kevin J.
