Plugin control in Firefox 34.0.5 messed up

Since Firefox 34.0.5 was installed yesterday the page in Firefox to handle the Plugin don't work anymore.

Al my settings were changed. All plugins were inactivated. Some of them I were not able to activate again.

Some were blocked and it said I should update them. However these plugins were updated just a couple of days ago! When I clicked on the update button I just came to a nonsense page https://blocklist.addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/blocked/p178 that offered no help and no explanation how a 3 day old plugin could be old.

What's the meaning of this new feature?

Best wishes, Lars

hello lars, in fact there is an update for shockwave flash available (version 16) - you can download the latest version of flashplayer from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows & plugin-based browsers exe-link)

also your java plugin could need an update: https://www.java.com/de/download/windows_xpi.jsp

To everyone responding that the link provided is old (from 2012), be assured that Firefox is indeed linking to a page from 2012 when you click the Update button. This is in 2015. The link goes that that 2012 page. The original poster isn't mistaken. Firefox is really linking to a useless 2012 page instead of to somewhere that updates the plugin, which the link implies.
