Firefox 31.3 incorrectly identifies Flash plugin as out of date

After updating to Firefox ESR 31.3.0 and Flash ESR 13.0.0.259 I am getting an out of date message but there is no newer version of Flash available. Firefox seems to identify the Flash version incorrectly it is not out of date it even indicated there are no updates. What is the solution here, is there a way to tell Firefox that the plugin is trusted. If so I need to push this setting from a GPO standpoint.

Chosen solution

The blocklist is now updated as they did a two part block list so as to not block 13.0.0.259 but still block 13.0.0.258 and older.
