FF 32.0; Windows7/32, fully updated
UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/32.0

After update from FF31.0 to FF32.0, plugin-check reports Adobe
Acrobat NPAPI (nppdf32.dll) version 11.0.8.4 outdated and
vulnerable. about:plugins shows two hooked copies of nppdf32.dll
- one each for Reader and AIR.

The current versions of Adobe Reader (11.0.8) and Adobe AIR
(14.0.0.178) are installed. As of this posting, there are no
updates to either Adode Reader or Adobe AIR.

I took a quick look on bugzilla, but I may have missed something.

Advice, anyone?

TIA,

Two relevant bugs I missed during the first search:
Bug 1020133 - Improve Adobe Acrobat plugin reporting
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1020133

Bug 1023718 - Plugin checker for newly installed FF 30.0 shows
Adobe Acrobat plugin "vulnerable" but update button just reloads
plugin checker
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1023718

These two bugs originate in June 2014, with FF30.0.

It seems that if you want to update Adobe Reader, you need to go to
Adobe's website and initiate the update yourself. Been there, done
that. Normally, I update it once a month when I do my Windows Update,
and reboot process.
