Build Identifier: 

Mozilla's plugin check thinks Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 is out of date even though it is the latest presently available for download from Adobe.


Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102


Appears with the following UAs:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100922 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.10

Reproducible: Always

Confirmed. 10.1.102.65 is reported as being obsolete, but http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ says that this is the last one for Linux when using Firefox. There is a 10.1.103.19 plugin, but for Chrome only. Maybe that's what confuse the plugin checker?

Firefox 3.5.x is not fully supported by plugincheck of course, but it has had the same problem for the last month or more. Even after uninstalling and re-installing Flash it is "outdated."

Flash 10.1.102.64, also known as 10.1 r102.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.17pre) Gecko/20101202
Shiretoko/3.5.17pre
Also outdated in latest Seamonkey release:

Flash 10.1.102.64.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.15) Gecko/20101027 SeaMonkey/2.0.10
WORKSFORME with new version 10.2 of Flash released.
Tested on:
Shiretoko Firefox 3.5.x / Win32
Seamonkey 2.0.x / Win32
Firefox 3.6.x / Ubuntu 9.04
Seamonkey 2.0.x / Ubuntu 9.04
In other words, fixed by Bug 630468. I tested Opera, Chrome and IE on WinXP also.

Please reopen.

Current latest and last one for linux, is Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 also known as Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.297

Apparently Adobe has a history of saying last version for linux as @Frédéric has reported earlier. But are committed to release security updates.

IMHO https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ should have a transparent registry for plugins versions.
    Firefox 23.0
    Ubuntu 12.10
    File: libflashplayer.so
    Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
    Version: 11.2.202.297
    Status: Enabled
    Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
