This is a problem is with Shockwave. The installed version is 21 but when clicking the link 'check addins' FF reports version 3. When I then select 'update now' the same screen appears over and over again. See attached. Filiep

Ok you two are mixing up two different Shockwave (for director) player and the Flash Player Plugins.

Shockwave (for director) player at version 12.2.4.194 http://www.adobe.com/products/shockwaveplayer.html http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/

Flash Player for Windows is at version 21.0.0.213 http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer.html https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

fsamyn your first image was about the Flash Player 21 and your second image was about Shockwave (for director) player (look at the orange wave icon) at version 3.0.72.0 which is either really old version or a odd number.

The Shockwave (for director) player plugin is used very little by websites now days compared to the Flash Player Plugin.

The image below shows how each corresponds to in the Plugins panel of Addons manager. The example versions may be older but should still be clear.

Actually based on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1082901

It is due to the "Intel web components updater - Installs and updates the Intel web components" plugin listed in your More System Details on right of your post and nothing to do with the Shockwave (for director) plugin you have which is listed at version 12.2.4.194.
