This looks like it could be a duplicate of either bug 1254687 or bug 1258563 
... Rachel, what do you think?

See this discussion thread where both those bugs are mentioned:

It also looks like the same issue we ran into here with the Adobe Flash plugin bug 1259223 where one branch version overlapped with another branch. 
There are two ways I can see going about this.
1. Staging and tracking the three branches of Adobe Acrobat Reader separately
2. Changing the UI detection
3. Changign regex - but I do not think it detects version numbers

I have resources for the 1st.
