1216361 - Plugin Status inaccurate (Adobe Reader)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1214838

(Plugin Check Graveyard :: UI, defect)

Description

[Bob]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20151014143721

Steps to reproduce:

open firefox
click on MENU (bars on right of screen)
choose ADD-ONS
choose "Click to see if your plugins are up to date"


Actual results:

reports:
Adobe Reader
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape
	outdated
15.9.20069.28170


Expected results:

actual installed Adobe Reader version is 15.009.20071.
When i attempt to install, adobe website tells me i have a newer version already installed and won't let me install.
if the "Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape" is a separate Program from the base Adobe Reader, then the link to the update is not correct.
I have duplicated this problem on 2 or 3 different computers running Vista, Windows 7 Pro, and Win10

Why do you think this a problem of some Firefox code, instead of a problem with that installed Adobe software itself?

I was able to reproduce this issue on Windows 7 x64 Using Firefox 44.0a1 (20151022030546) but I am not so sure that this issue is on our side or Adobe's.
Perhaps there's someone with extensive knowledge on this area that might be able to help here.
