[Solved] Firefox blocks outdated Flash
I have the latest `flashplugin` from the repos. This is the latest version released by Adobe. Am I the only one to experience this?

If you use: Fresh Player Plugin in Firefox then after you install that install the Google Pepper Flash AUR package and boom, latest version of Flash in Firefox on Linux.

Re: [Solved] Firefox blocks outdated Flash
Someone at Mozilla probably forgot again that Linux users are stuck at an old version and so screwed up the blocklist. I'm with headkase, install freshplayer-plugin and PepperFlash. It works very well and is a much better solution than being stuck with an old version.

Re: [Solved] Firefox blocks outdated Flash
You could be affected by an out of date pluginreg.dat file which happens when upgrading packages while you still have firefox running.
