Plugin Status (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/) says "Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0" "Up to Date 15.0.0.152". This is incorrect. The latest version of Flash (as of 11/11/2014) is 15.0.0.223, as reported by Adobe's Test Page. Therefore, the status should say "Vulnerable".

I am using Firefox ESR 31.2.0 without any addons on a Windows 7 64-bit PC.

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Mine says "Up to Date 15.0.0.189" which as you point out also is incorrect.

A bug has been filed for this, but I can't tell whether the problem has been fully diagnosed and anyone is going to pick up the ball and run with it:

1084537 – Flash sometimes displayed as up to date whilst vulnerable, on Windows 7

While it's generally not helpful to add comments to bugs (unless you can help fix them), you can register on the Bugzilla site and "vote" for them to be fixed. See: Voting, Bugzilla Etiquette.

Edit: For some reason, this bug doesn't allow voting.

Thank you for opening the bug report ! I see some very interesting investigation and discussions going on already.

This issue is not a show-stopper, but it's a great feature to have.
