Bug Description

My synaptic Package manager says I have installed Adobe Flash version 9.0.124, but the tools add-ons options on Firefox shows I only have 9.0 r100. I apparently need 9.0.115 or later to get some things working I want to use, so 124 is what I need. What gives? It's like flash is installed at 124, but not for Firefox.

I just checked this again, and I tried several things with the add-on area, symaptic, and installs and reinstalls. I always end up showing 9.0.152 flashplugin-nonfree installed on my laptop, but only 9.0 r100 available on my Firefox.

I just tried some uninstalls and reinstalls of the plugins, and it did not change the firefox behavior, but it did break the way my Opera was working so that now I cannot use it on Rhapsody Online anymore. I recomment, at this point, if you have Opera working, ignore Firefox. It obviously is not well supported on 64bit. I hope I don't have too much to do to get my Opera back working on 64bit Ubuntu. It is a far better user experience anyway.

not an ubufox bug (not a bug at all most likely). you probably have libflashplayer.so in your profile installed (which would hide the system version)
