PepperFlash doesn't have an API for acquiring version as NPAPI plugins do. Instead, version is taken from manifest.json file near libpepflashplayer.so. If there is no such file, dummy version 13.1.2.3 is used.

Only "version" attribute is used, therefore following should be enough:

{
    "version": "18.0.0.209"
}

Sometimes one need to update modification date of libfreshwrapper-pepperflash.so, or to delete pluginreg.dat file from Firefox profile directory. Otherwise Firefox will continue to use cached version.

You can get to the profile directory by pressing "Open Directory" button in "Application Basics" table.
