This did the trick.  Why I can't remove plugins via the tools menu, but can remove add-ons, seems wrong.

Thanks,

Folks,
  I have 2 systems running FC22.  Both are at the latest updates. On one system firefox shows I have flash version 11.2.202.521 installed.  This is the latest version available from Adobe.  On the other system firefox tells me I have an out of date version of flash 11.2.202.508.  This is, however, wrong.  I have 11.2.202.521 installed.  I have verified this by downloading the latest flash tar file from Adobe and doing an md5sum on the one from the tar file and the one installed in /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so. They both have the same checksum.  The link in ~/.mozilla/plugins points to /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so so the correct version should be pulled in.  I tried removing the link in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory and re-starting firefox, but it still shows I have 11.2.202.508 installed.  Even after I restore the link and restart firefox it still shows I have 508 installed.

How do I get firefox to pickup the correct version of flash?

Any help is appreciated.


Close Firefox, edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiledir*/pluginreg.dat

Remove all content in [PLUGINS] section, starting from "libflashplayer.so" to "FutureSplash Player"

Start Firefox.
