Firefox says flash esr out of date. It is newest version
My management decided to move to the ESR of Flash. We are on the ESR of Firefox. Firefox 31.1.1.0 and 31.3.0.0 will not allow flash plugin 13.0.0.259 ESR to run, even though it is the newest version. It is flagged as an old version and it asks to update. When I click on the red "Check for updates..." link provided, mozilla page - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ says that it is up to date. Could we get this fixed. Thanks,

The blocklist has been updated so it no longer blocks the 13.0.0.259 ESR.

hello FlashInThePan, flash ESR 13.0.0.259 was blocklisted as vulnerable by mistake originally. this is just in the process of getting fixed at the root (refer to bug 1109795) and should filter through to users in a day or two...
Does that mean there will be an update to install?
no, this change will make it to all installations automatically without a program update being required - firefox is pinging mozilla's servers once a day to receive an update about addons which should be blocked as malicious/vulnerable/crashy...
Perfect! Thank you very much for the information. I will relay to my team. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
You can paste this code in the command line in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to immediately update the blocklist.xml file.
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/blocklist;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsITimerCallback).notify(null);
You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.
