I just run YOU which updated Firefox to 3.0.14. On restarting firefox, I see: *** You should update Adobe Flash Player [1] right now. *** Firefox is up to date, but your current version of Flash Player can cause security and stability issues. Please install the free update [1] as soon as possible. [1] http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ which of course, I will not do, expecting you supply the appropriate rpm update via the usual channel (ie, YOU). I have flash-player-9.0.246.0-0.1 Unless Firefox is fooled by the flashblock add-on :-?

I'm not sure if we should update to fp10 on 11.0. the same problem is probably on 10.3 as well. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Let's see what they have to say. Another "fix" would be to modify the URL which is displayed after an update. The Flash check is performed by the website and not by Firefox so it should be fine to change this URL in case they won't fix the site. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The flash plugin also is packaged as rpm so users are not supposed to download it themselves. They'd lose automatic updates and would have to always update flash manually then. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
