Hi,
This is a bit of a mystery for me - I have the latest version of VLC (2.1.5) on both my XP desktop and Windows 7 desktop. I also have the latest version of Firefox (33.0.1) on both. After running the Add-ons manager in Firefox to check for plugin updates, it reports that an update is required for VLC and classes it as vulnerable at present. The VLC plugin is version 2.1.3.0 - if I run the updater, the plugin version remains the same - completely uninstalling VLC and installing version 2.1.5 again leads to the same 2.1.3.0 plugin appearing in the Firefox plugins list and the same vulnerability response when I do the check for plugin updates.
I'm hoping this is just a VLC issue which they will sort soon but wonder if others have experienced the same problem. Any advice/suggestions (not rude ones of course ) would be welcome.
