Can't play Facebook games due to flash player issue

I am trying to play games in facebook, exactly Bingo Blitz, but once game begins to load below message appears:

To play BINGO Blitz you need to upgrade your
Adobe Flash player!

My firefox is version 35.0 and my flash is extra/flashplugin 11.2.202.429-1. When I click on the link I am redirected to adobe flash player to download the same version I have... so what's the problem? I have last version of flash player....

Try moving ~/.mozilla/firefox/<something>.default/pluginreq.dat to somewhere else outside the .mozilla folder and restart Firefox.

Try using a browser that doesn't use flashplugin but pepper-flash e.g. chromium.

I have moved it outside .mozilla folder and restarted it but without luck. Even I have installed latest flashplugin version available now extra/flashplugin 11.2.202.438-1  but it does not work. Finally I have decided to use chromium as Karol stated and it works there.

You can try freshplayerplugin (AUR) to make the game works in firefox. I've been using it the past few months and it's pretty stable.
