Found the problem & filed a bug report: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942356> Both Firefox and Seamonkey put incorrect plugin information in the pluginreg.dat file. Note that the version information in both files incorrectly places commas, instead of periods, between the version number: SeaMonkey 2.2.0/1: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 SeaMonkey/2.22 Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11,2,202,327 Firefox 25.0.1: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11,2,202,327 If I modify the pluginreg.dat file to correctly show the version number, the mozilla plugin site recognizes that the Flash version is up-to-date: [PLUGINS] libflashplayer.so:$ /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so:$ 11,2,202,327:$ Now I modify: [PLUGINS] libflashplayer.so:$ /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so:$ 11.2.202.327:$ and show: Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11.2.202.327 and the plugin check works correctly. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
