Updated plug-ins, but the profile still shows the old version
I spent most of the morning trying to update my Silverlight plugin to the latest version (5.1.10411.0) of the old version which has blocked now (5.0.61118.0). I tried several downloads and installations, with the plugin disabled and disabled it, and I manually deleted files to delete to manually uninstall Silverlight, Microsoft says:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Silverlight.plugin /Library/Receipts/Silverlight.pkg /Library/Receipts/Silverlight_W2_MIX.pkg /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/WPFe.plugin /Library/Receipts/WPFe.pkg
Finally, I created a new user on my Mac, opens Firefox in this user and discovered that the Silverlight plugin has been upgraded (5.1.10411.0). I restarted the Mac, open my regular user and profile Firefox... and the Silverlight plugin shows always also (5.0.61118.0).
I'm sure it's just a plist somewhere which is not updated. Any ideas of what I can short constantly tearing files, reinstall and hoping for the best?
Never mind. I deleted pluginreg.dat, and that fixed it.

I recently downloaded the Lightroom upgrade but the old version remains the default Lightroom Application on my laptop and I can only access the new version through the Adobe icon at the top of the screen. How can I get the new version of 'replace' the old?
Try to uninstall the old version - it is not necessary. An upgrade is a product independent and fully functional.

Having been invited to update I clicked Yes. Update failed. I tried to update manually on the site but had to close Firefox before you start - Firefox was closed. I tried to uninstall the old version so that I could install the new le neuf-- once again asked me to close Firefox before it could be uninstalled and again, it was already closed. Stuck now - no idea what it takes to get the new version. O.
Hi Jean Claude,
Firefox can always run in the background. This happens sometimes. I suggest that you try to restart your computer, and then try to uninstall the old version. Alternatively, you can try to right click on the task bar, then opening the Task Manager. This will show you the list of processes currently running on your computer. If Firefox is running, you can manually kill the process.
There is also an article in the Knowledge Base containing information on what to do if the How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message. There is lots of useful information here.
Hope this helps!

This happened on & off for a while. I tried updating via firefox, uninstall and update in acrobat and firefox. He says updating but the version does not change and cannot find any evidence, he did. Even uninstall always reinstalled 10.1.4.38 - the same version that I've had since started using firefox.
Also, today I updated 'Shockwave Flash' at the same place & update says it still need to be updated (don't remember which version he says), but I had disabled Shockwave for Director "." When I gave the update kept saying to update Flash.
Any chance there is a link between Acrobat & something similar to the 'Director' which will help to update recognize? A program distant cousin?Hi Uptown22, I guess you tried to restart Windows to see if the Adobe Reader update ends after a restart, or if the update from Adobe works best when the system has just been restarted and that you did not start Firefox or any other program that could use Adobe files. If this isn't the case, you might want to try it.
If you check on Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat in your Adobe product, which version actually installed?
If you have a version higher than 10.1.4:
Search many PDF plugins on your system might try either of the following:
- full search of drive C for nppdf32.dll (be sure to search in hidden folders) - you need to check the version properties to determine if they meet your true version
- Secunia PSI (free for use on non-professional computers): http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ - will find obsolete plugins and in its advanced mode show you the location on disk

I have Mac OSX 10.9.2
Firefox tells me I 24.0 version and it is up to date.
However, the download page tells me that the latest version is 29.
I'm really up-to-date with the version 24?
Is the latest version of Max OSX really 24?
How can I get the latest version?mspohr, you are using a version of Firefox 24.0? or a build ESR which is currently based on 24.0 as 24.4.0 or the current moment 24.5.0 update that came out when 29,0 made. Versions of Firefox 24 esr will not update to a current version, because they are on separate channels.

How do you install the previous plug-ins in the new version of Photoshop CC 2014
Is automatically installed before on other versions, but this one won't pick them up. I see them on my CS6 and work with them on the previous CC, but I don't know how to make them grow in 2014 of CC. Anyone?
Dear Carosmania
Adobe not all Addons are compatible with the default CC 2014. You must make reference to the page of each add-on on the Addons (creative.adobe.com/addons) site to find the compatibility window (top right), which will describe the versions of Photoshop that the add-on will work with.
Kind regards

The old version with the warning of the vulnerability is listed under the tool to update plug-in with the latest version. The warning redirects me to the Java website to install the latest version. Which I did and made sure (using the Windows XP sp3 "add or remove programs", both the java.com site 'uninstall older versions' tool). Yet. the old 'vulnerable' version remains in the list of plugins. I even tried to 'disable' the old version, but it has simply disabled the two versions. Is the most recent version (U25 7), in fact safe, even if I can get rid of the old version? The thing is, I am not sure if the sites I need to visit have to use Java or not. As the Bank. And if I have to completely uninstall Firefox, how to keep all my settings, passwords, bookmarks, etc.?
Try to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox profile folder and perhaps as well to reset addons.sqlite the plugin registry data bases.

Pavilion g7-2017us: updated date of the Bios but sysem watch still the old version
I tried to download and install a new version of the BIOS (F.26, June 2014) after having a few problems with the laptop heating and freezing programs. Download details indicated that it was highly recommended.
I tried today and the system has shown that it was already installed. I looked at C drive and it shows under bin SWSetup\sp66805\0183AF26. I have no idea what it means. It shows a date of 17/06/16 as installed. I looked into this for a while, but I know that I have not installed it.
I do not understand why information system still shows: version of BIOS Insyde F.25, 29/05/2013 if it is supposed to have been updated.
Help, please!
Thank you

Hi @Anne47,
Thank you for joining the HP Forums!
I understand that your Bios has updated but still showing the old version, with your HP Pavilion g7-2017us Notebook. I'm happy to help you!
It is very strange, as the updates only I see available in the Software and Driver Downloads page were dated 1 March 2016.
For now, I recommend to go through the steps in this guide, updated the BIOSand let me know what happens!
If it helps, please consider clicking on "accept as a solution." And, please click the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.
I hope this helps!

I've updated to 6, but the home page still says that I'm not on the latest version.
I updated 2 times but the home page still says that I'm not on the latest version.
What you set as your home page? The default Firefox homepage have a message like that. In addition, you have posted here with Firefox 6.0 - the latest version.
