[Solved] Firefox blocks outdated Flash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.

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.

You could be affected by an out of date pluginreg.dat file which happens when upgrading packages while you still have firefox running.
