I recently updated to VLC media player v2.0.8. In Firefox v23, the add on shows out of date. Program files reflects new version as does pertinent HKLM registry key.
I posted about this in the Firefox forum here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968058
The last post was correct, npvlc.dll properties is still showing v2.0.6, this Firefox' add on checker is still reading the add on as out of date and vulnerable.
Will this be fixed or is there already a fix for it posted somewhere? I did search the forums but could not find anything regarding this issue.
Thank you.

Okay, thanks. We had people filing into our forum reporting this and wanted to make sure that FX wasn't going to disable the add on for being out of date.

Re: VLC Firefox add on not updating
Still the same problem in 2.1.2 and FF 24.2.
npvlc.dll has Version 2.1.0
see also http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ with Firefox.
