Does Mozilla's Plugin Checker not read Safari plugins correctly? My Plugins are all up to date and it still says "update."
Shockwave Flash Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
Shockwave for Director Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.0 — from file “DirectorShockwave.plugin”.
I'm wondering if it is how Safari does not list the entire version in it's plugin page, such as 11.6.0 instead of 11.6.0.r.626.
Also I have Looked in the plugins file for Safari and turned on the extension to show invisible extensions and it shows this:
DirectorShockwave.plugin 11.6.0r626 Flash Player.plugin 10.3 r181.34
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled just to see if that was the problem.

When you run the plugin check, you should get a column with the full version number (here's Flash, for example, in the attached screen shot).
As for finding Safari plugins, I don't know how it works on MacOS; on Windows, Firefox will scan certain locations outside of its folders to pick up plugins that are not Firefox-specific. The plugin checker then will use the information that Firefox has gathered.

I get that screen.
I don't think it's scanning the files correctly or it's just incompatible with Safari. It messes this up on Opera too. Camino has trouble with this too.

Now only ShockwaveDirector is appearing to be out of date so I'm going with it's a compatibility issue. I have Parallels, so I have Win 7 Pro and Linux Mint 11, they work.
