Just updated to 10.9.4 from 10.9.3 using the Combo Updater, and I thought I'd check and see if Flash Player was up-to-date afterwards and noticed an odd quirk in its settings window now...



Not sure if this is due to the 10.9.4 update or just an Adobe bug, but now it identifies itself as "NPAPI Plug-in..." where it used to say "Flash Player Plugin...". Also mentions a "PPAPI Plugin is not installed" too - don't recall that being listed either.

Probably nothing to worry myself with, but just wondered if anyone else is seeing the same thing? I know, I should expect these little quirks from Adobe.

It seems that both NPAPI and PPAPI are closley related/tied to Google Chrome.
Dunno why it is saying one is installed when the other ain't, though.
I'll check my Mac tomorrow - can't check now as I'm in work.

Yeah, I wondered that too, except I only use Safari on this Mac and don't have Google Chrome installed. A search for NPAPI only found results for Adobe Acrobat, unless Adobe is getting its plugins mixed up? Safari's plugins settings reports it correctly as Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145 so I guess it's just a programmer's error in the System Preferences pane.

No worries, I'm not concerned - I could probably uninstall Flash Player and not miss it nowadays!

For what it's worth, I have just checked my Mac and it is displaying exactly the same as you have in your screenshot, and I don't have Chrome installed on here either.
Odd.
I didn't update using the combo updater either.
