Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Whether installing the flash plugin with Synaptic, apt-get, through ubuntu-restricted-extras, or with Firefox, it will install only for Firefox 2. When looking at the /plugin/ directories for Firefox 2 (/usr/lib/firefox/plugins) and Firefox 3 (/usr/lib/firefox-3.0b4/plugins) it is revealed that the plugin file is copied to the FF2 directory, but not FF3. Manually copying the flashplugin-alternative.so file over the /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b4/plugins/ solves the issue.
