The add-on causes no troubles as far as I'm aware of, and despite the recent VLC-application updates, browser plug-in 1.0.5 is still the latest version. Why is Firefox add-on check reporting this plug-in as being obsolete? A newer one is not available.

Make sure that you are using VLC 2.0?

Dear Swarnava,

Yes, VLC 2.0.0 is installed. And so is the browser plug-in 1.0.5, which hasn't been updated for a long time. That's why I'm wondering why Firefox 'thinks' there's a new version of that particular plug-in available.

Best regards, Robbert
