Video is to version 2.0.8 right now, so you are out of date.
i did delete it and reinstall but it still say 2.6 in the addons manager area
i found this comment in downloads.com "Ver 2.0.8 Not compatible with Firefox"
September 14, 2013 | By jhep3304
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.8
Pros
Prior versions handled most anything I threw at it with the exception of some proprietary formats like Fox News, etc.
Cons
Version 2.0.8 not compatible with Mozilla Firefox ver.23.0.1 VCL subfile nvlc.dll is outdated ver2.0.6 resulting in Outdated, Vulneralbe, Download Now message from Firefox. Redownloading VCL ver 2.0.8 still results in outdated .dll file. VideoLAN refuses to fix.
Summary
It was a good product and may be again in the future but for now it's worthless for Firefox and I suspicion other browsers as well.

Hello World.
I just upgraded VLC from 2.0.6 to 2.0.8. As usual I have the wizard install the Mozilla web plugin yet this time around the wizard is failing to install the web plugin, Firefox is still showing VLC VLC media player Web Plugin 2.0.6.
Are there issues with the VLC win32 wizard?
This is on a Windows 7 64bit machine.

Postby Voynich » Sat Aug 17, 2013 4:51 pm Same here.Seems that vlc.exe is version 2.0.8 ,but the web plug-in file, npvlc.dll is the old version 2.0.6. Firefox is saying it is vulnerable and needs to be updated. Running Win 7 ultimate 64 and FF 23.0.

What is vulnerable is the VLC version and not the plugin, Mozilla should check VLC version and not plugin version.
If you are on 2.0.8 you are safe.

Postby mbgtmari » Sat Aug 17, 2013 7:44 pm Same problem here. Running vlc-2.0.8-win32(1) on Windows 7 professional (64bit) and FF 23.0. 1. When I'm checking my plugins Mozilla tells me my plug-in shown as 2.0.6.0 is outdated but clicking on the ”Update now” arrow doesn't update it What happens is I'm taken to the VideoLAN.org site where I can download the newest version of VLC a second time.
EDIT I've just found this thread: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=113063 And I'm going to do exactly as Xircal did: disable the FF plugin for the time being, looking forward to a solution to the problem.

Can you give me some informations about what was vulnerable in VLC 2.0.6 ? I don´t understand why the player should cause any problems,it´s the plugin what´s been used from firefox. Or do you mean the checkmethod of Mozilla is not correct and if they check the version no warning would appear?

Yes.
The plugin is unchanged between 2.0.6 and 2.0.8. The security issues are on the libraries. Mozilla, should have contacted us, before doing things without checking...
