Why, after update plug-ins by the system of firefox [specifically adobe acrobat 10.1.4.38] it does not recognize it and says I need to update?

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
