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?
