Flash Plugin Settings in Firefox

Question

I'm confused about the new on-line settings panel used by the
flash plugin. I use Firefox 3.0.3, and Flash 9. While trying to
load a website on my local drive i get a dialog that informs me
that flash has stopped the load due to security reasons and to
allow it to click "Settings...". This takes me to a macromedia web
site with the settings panel. Ini global settings, I try to select
Allow, and enter the full path to the folder where the web site
files are located, and click Confirm. I then reload the web site,
and get the dialog again. Looking at the settings panel, if I
choose a different tab and then go back to Global Security
Settings, it is reset to Always Ask and my path I just entered is
no longer in the "trust this..." box. Nothing I can do will load
this file.
However, if I swicth to the IE rendering engine (in Firefox),
the site loads as it should, with no warning, and plays the flash
fine. I suspect it may be a problem with the web site (generated by
Slideshow Pro in Lightroom) running in Firefox. But does it explain
what is happening in the Flash Settings Panel? I don't really get
that on-line panel. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Exactly the same issue, seems like an error in FireFox to me in about:plugins.. But I am not sure. I got the same sha1sum as you but when i check the strings in the so ELF file, i find out it's 425?
]# strings libflashplayer.so | grep '11.2.2'
FlashPlayer_11_2_202_425_FlashPlayer
LNX 11,2,202,425
11.2.202.425
drm/%s/%s/%s/11.2.202.425%s
]$ uname -a
3.17.4-200.fc20.x86_64
fully updated, and adobe's repo installed (same as yours).
]$ firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 34.0
Don't understand it, I've tried
yum install yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves -y; yum autoremove flash-plugin -y; yum clean all; yum install flash-plugin -y
But still, the same.
