It stores the version info, but upon updates of the flashplayer, some times it will not get updated. Two ways to 'cure' that: a) Uninstall flash, (Re-)start Firefox, close Firefox, install new version, start Firefox. (Due to the 'absence' of flash, the 'pluginreg.dat' gets removed, and afterwards it will get recreated with the new info) b) Close firefox, remove 'pluginreg.dat', update flashplayer, start firefox - Yamaban
