I run ESR, latest version 31.3.0 as of 12/12/14. Even the Mozilla official website complains the browser is outdated!! And yes, I have already tried all the "fixes" in the stock how-tos.

Furthermore, many sites (including Mozilla) now report my Adobe Acrobat plugin is outdated . But, when I go to the FF addons/plugin page, it tells me that the "plugins are up to date" ; I have Adobe PDF Plugin for Nirefox and Netscape 10.1.3.

I'd include some screen shots, but this outdated forum provides no means for attaching files!

VERY annoying... really don't want to be forced to use Chrome just to get my work done ...

No way to attach a word doc, so I was forced to use Google Drive:

ok thanks, these are two different issues. your first screenshot shows a warning about your flash plugin. adobe has just released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794

please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).

your Adobe Acrobat Plugin also needs a security update: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/acrobat/apsb14-28.html

Ok, parital success.

The .exe version of the Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 did work, and I am no longer getting the pop-up warnings from the Mozilla site. Still confused as to why the normal Flash upgrade (I install it when it nags me) did not fix the problem.

Regarding the Acrobat plugin, the links you sent seem to point to the install of the full Acrobat Reader. I don't use Acrobat - hate it (and pretty much all things Adobe now that they are forcing Creative Cloud down our throats) , use a variety of other programs to open PDFs. Is there a way to install just the plugin but not the full reader? For now, I disabled the plugin and am using those third-party programs outside of FF to view PDFs.

Thanks,

Steve

hello, if you don't want or use adobe then it would be better to totally remove it from your system control panel than to leave an old and potentially vulnerable program on your system. i don't think there is a way to install the plugin separately from the main reader application - however in firefox you don't depend on that, it already has a built-in html5 pdf reader which works without any plugins...

The Mozilla "Check your plugins" page at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ STILL is confused about Firefox ESR. I have the latest version of FF ESR, but the page tells me my FireFox is outdated. Clearly, whoever coded the browser check on that page is blissfully unaware of the large group of IT pros who refuse to deal with a new GUI every 6 weeks!
