www.cnn.com is telling me that my version of flash-player is out of date with security risks so it won't display any video news. Go and update your flash player.
On this F21 system I am using:
adobe-linux-x86_64.repo
which has in it:
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/
yum.log shows:
Jan 19 18:08:31 Updated: flash-plugin-11.2.202.429-release.x86_64 Jan 26 08:51:24 Updated: flash-plugin-11.2.202.440-release.x86_64
So supposedly I am current to Jan 26. But cnn is not a happy camper. There have been a couple other sites complaining as well. Even one that said my version of Firefox was out of date, but that was only a warning.
Go to about:plugins in Firefox, if the displayed version of Adobe Flash isn't *.440, try deleting ~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE_NAME/pluginreg.dat and refresh about:plugins or restart Firefox.
I've hit a similar issue recently on a different website.
I just installed the 64 bit rpm for version 442 of flash I downloaded from Adobe's website, put a symlink into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (the upstream version of 64 bit firefox looks for its plugins in /usr/lib) to where the rpm placed the plugin, remove pluginreg.dat, started firefox and issued about:plugins which firefox says it is picking up from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but it says the version is 11.2.202.310 still, why is this occurring?
