User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20131206145143 Steps to reproduce: Check to see if your plugins are up to date by going to (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/) and then Check the version of Adobe Flash Player you are currently running by going to Flash About (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) Actual results: Firefox Plugin Check (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/) incorrectly reports Adobe Flash is out of date on Linux operating systems when you are running the most up to date version. This can be confirmed running Firefox on any Linux distrubution. I have the current version of Flash for Firefox on Linux installed (11.2.202.332) and Firefox will still report this as being out of date and vulnerable even though it is up to date and it is still getting security updates from Adobe. Screenshots attached. Expected results: Plugin Check (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/) should report that the Adobe Flash plugin is up to date if it matches the latest version of Flash available for the Operating System / Browser combination that you are running. Flash for Firefox on Linux is still receiving security updates so it should not report that the plugin is vulnerable if you are running the latest version. If unresolved this issue could turn novice users to alternative browsers such as Google Chrome / Chromium out of fear that Firefox is always running an insecure Flash plugin.
