Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 603679

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101104 Firefox/4.0b8pre

I installed the latest Shockwave player from Adobe (11.5.9.615), but when I go to the test page (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/) the Shockwave test does not run.  Certain game sites such as (http://www.miniclip.com/games/sveerz/en/) and (http://www.forgefx.com/casestudies/prenticehall/ph/catapult/design-test-simulation.htm) prompt to install Shockwave 10.4, even though I installed version 11.

I tried installing both the Slim and Full versions of Shockwave and also used the official Shockwave uninstaller, to no avail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Shockwave 11.5.9.915 from Adobe (latest version).
2. Try playing games on the sites listed above.
3. Firefox will not recognize version 11 is installed and will instead prompt to download version 10.4.
4. Also, the official Adobe Shockwave test page does not work for latest Minefield and latest Shockwave (11.5.9.615).
Actual Results:  
Minefield is not recognizing the latest plug-in being installed.

Expected Results:  
Minefield should notice that the latest version of Shockwave is installed and NOT prompt to download an older version.  Also, the official test site should work in Minefield.  The test works fine in Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385.  Screen shots are provided.

One more additional note - the installer file for Shockwave includes plug-ins for BOTH Firefox and Internet explorer (they are not separate downloads).
