UPDATE to Myself / Others... This could be a known "bug" with FF Ver 30.0 ?

Version 30.0 keeps saying Flash 13.0.0.214 needs updating. Clearly, Flash 13.0.0.214 IS already THE latest Flash.

Just to be "safe", I have repeatedly de-installed Flash, then repeatedly re-installed Flash 13.0.0.214.

The Flash install (and re-install over and over) works, but FF 30.0 about:addons PlugIns insists to "red-list" Flash 13.0.0.214, and thus keeps advising to update it.

Restarts of both 30.0 Firefox, and even system re-sets (Windows 7 64bit) have no effect. Doing anything in FF 30.0 "safe mode" is typically useless in the past and useless here.

Useless waste of time to even see the PlugIns message.

This is supposed to be fixed sometime soon.

Feel free to vote for the report to keep track of any progress, but please don't post comments unless you have technical information to add. See the Bugzilla etiquette page for details.

Thank you for the update. OK, so it is a known bug, which actually makes me breathe easier than if we found out that this was "operation normal" behavior. 

So we shall stand-by and see what the next Beta or two bring about.
