I updated my Flash plugin to the latest version. Since then, Firefox has, instead of saying that I should update it, said that I should install it. The flash plugin does not appear in the add-ons manager, and flash content works fine in other browsers.

You may have a problem with the file pluginreg.dat that stores the plugin registry.

Delete the file pluginreg.dat and let Firefox rebuild a new version.

That doesn't seem to have helped.

Looking at the plugin checker, it says that I have an outdated version of Flash.
