I have updated flash player plugin on my linux system to the latest version (11.2.202.425). Why does mozilla.org/plugincheck still give me the status "Vulnerable"?

I just found out that about:plugins doensn't always show the same version as the version which is really used on a page. A restart of the browser solved the problem.

In severe cases it may also be necessary to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
