just installed firefox 32.0 on windows 7 and windows xp and got a new plugin check bug - comes up with "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-inAdobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in" as vulnerable but when you hit the red button the page just navigates to itself

have also noticed that unknown plugins have disappeared. i have 15 plugins on my xp machine but only 9 appear on the list. where the check can't find a plugins latest version, it should list it as grey unknown, but they are not appearing at all.

finally "Adobe Shockwave Player - Adobe Shockwave for Director plug-in 12.1.252" says "up-to-date" but there is a newer version (253) when you hit the green button. this may not necessarily mean the current version is vulnerable but to say it is up-to-date is incorrect. i remember when i last raised this that in the next release of firefox there was supposed to be a new status to say when something is out-of-date but not necessarily vulnerable, so this doesn't seem to have happened.

I get this.....When I go to "Tools" then click on "Add-Ons" then click "Plug-Ins" and then click on "Check To see If Plug-Ins Are Up To Date" it goes to Mozilla Check Your Plug in Page all it does is sit and spin at the Checking with Mozilla on the status of your plugins. I am using Win7 Pro and just downloaded Firefox update to 32.0.

The vulnerable NPAPI Plug-in and missing unknown plugin issues have been fixed.

The Adobe Shockwave Player plugin still says up-to-date for v 12.1.2.152 when 12.1.3.153 is available

thanks ...
