Firefox is flagging the following plugin as outdated:

Adobe Reader Version 15.6.30060.15959

This is the latest version of Acrobat DC Pro (released on July 14, 2015). The previous and initial release of Acrobat DC Pro (Classic Track) also was flagged as outdated.

Clicking on the "Update Now" button takes you to the "download Acrobat Reader" site. The "Continuous" track for Reader DC is versioned as 15.8.x.x, and indeed ... on my system with Reader (Continuous) and not Pro (Classic), Firefox shows the plugin is up-to-date.

I believe the Firefox is not recognizing the 15.6.x.x. "Continuous" track of Acrobat DC as being updated.

Please advise. Thank you.

This is a know issue with the update checker. If the programs web site says you are up to date, then you are fine. Don’t worry.

The Plugin checker is manually updated on what Plugins versions to check for on each OS.
