I appreciate that you are busy.
Please can you make certain that:
Fx 32 will use the 'existing plugincheck - uses enumeration' and
Fx 33+ will use the 'new plugincheck - uses the JSON List'
before Fx 32 is released on Tuesday.

I vividly recall that, in the run up to the release of Fx 31,
this took longer than I expected (bug 1020133 comment # 4 and onwards).

I've not found a bug for this change and so I'm filling this.

Fx 32 has been released and the Bump has NOT happened!

Reopening this bug.

See
"Plugincheck-Screenshot-Win7-Fx32-WRONG-20140902.png"
Seen at (20:00 BST) i.e. 12:00 PDT and again at 15:15 PDT.

I have updated to Fx 32, here we can see the
WRONG results for Adobe Reader!

This is what I was trying to *prevent* (see bug 1020133 comment # 4 and onwards).

What is the status of Bedrock?
Has 'something got stuck in a queue'?

See "Plugincheck-Screenshot-Win7-Fx32-UA31-CORRECT-20140902.png".

Here we can see the CORRECT result.

Q. How?
A. By spoofing the UA to Fx 31.  This proves that the Bump has not happened.

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31");

Also
"plugins.enumerable_names" set to "*" [all plugins enumerated] the default for
all versions of Firefox.

Although, as you know, I test the 'new plugincheck - uses the JSON List',
with "plugins.enumerable_names" set to "" (empty string) to prove that
no enumeration is being used.

Both screenshots do show the "utm_source" in the URL,
see bug 1022745 - these are in Fx 32+.

All I can think is that because of the US/Canada holiday on Monday, a queue has built up of items that needs to be pushed to production for Bedrock. I will follow up and I am sure the push will happen today.

[Schalk Neethling [:espressive]]

This is now on production.

On testing again about 11:00 PDT, on Wed Sep 3 2014
I can confirm that the UK version of Plugincheck is now
reporting "Adobe Acrobat" version 11.0.8.4 as "Up to Date" - CORRECT.
