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.
