Hi Martin, those normally are the same.

Have you exited and started Firefox back up again since your last Flash update? It's possible that the Add-ons page has not caught up with what's actually on disk now.

You also could check to see if you have both of those files in the usual place:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

The plugin files used by Firefox follow this naming pattern:

NPSWF32_16_0_0_305.dll

where the four-part version number varies. You only need the most recent if there are multiple matches to that pattern.

Thanks for the swift reply.

I did restart Firefox since the last Flash update, but I just checked the directory you mention, and I do in fact have both DLL- and EXE-files for both versions.

So I think my next step will be to perform a reinstall of Flash and see if that doesn't solve the problem.

After uninstalling, the v. 16.0.0.296 EXE- and DLL-files were still in the mentioned directory, but I was able to delete them as administrator.

However, the files pictured in the attached screenshot could not be deleted, which I find a bit unsettling.

But the reported version numbers after reinstalling are the same, so all is good once again :)

The ActiveX version of Flash Player only works on Internet Explorer or IE and not other browsers as Firefox uses the Plugin based version.
