Flash Update Issue
flash version 170.0.134, flash plugin in fox won't update no matte how meany times i install it, this still shows out of date for me https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_campaign=plugincheck-update, also same ver is shown under plugins in fox
but when flash starts running from task manager it shows ver 17.0.0.169, if in taskmanager new version is running does it even matter then? dose it matter only if i want to disable protection mode?
its possible this issue accrued cause my browser was opened & i was AFK & first time it updated automatically & new its bugged, won't let update
i'm going to sleep, when i boot PC again i try it again

under plugins, when i click on more it shows also 17.0.0.134, but it says last update 15aprill, in other words it shows time just new when i did update again manually, just new, 15min ago, whats up with it?

i did not try install again, cause i noticed that i have 2 flashes older ver & newer, 17.0.0.134 & 17.0.0.169 WTF is going on? updating should remove older, or is it necessary with new version of flash? i mean does it need it? Flash staff intended it that way?

Reinstalling flash worked, new i have only 1 version, the newest, maybe the old version was left there cause it automatically updated when i was AFK & browser was opened, but still its the first time it has happened

Older Flash plugins are supposed to be removed as part of a Flash update, but sometimes they don't actually get removed.
Grab the Adobe uninstaller from here to remove Flash entirely. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Then reinstall the latest versions, for both Firefox and for IE, is you still use IE for anything needing Flash.
