Firefox 52.1.0 ESR on Centos-7. FF insists I have flash 25.0.0.148 installed. I have 25.0.0.171.
Firefox insists my flash player is out of date, reports version 25.0.0.148. I DO NOT HAVE that version, I have 25.0.0.171. only.
I've examined every libflashplayer.so on the drive (there is only the one) and it is 25.0.0.171:
strings /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so | grep FlashPlayer_25_0_0
FlashPlayer_25_0_0_171_FlashPlayer
yum list installed | grep -i flash-plugin
flash-plugin.x86_64 25.0.0.171-release @adobe-linux-x86_64
how do I make Firefox stop reporting this bogus complaint?

The best thing to do is remove all flash from your system. Then re-install a fresh copy from;

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Try to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox Profile Folder and maybe also delete addons.sqlite to reset the plugin registry database.
