Flash doesn't work after Firefox 3.6.6 upgrade

[Gantry York]

Binary package hint: firefox

After doing an

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Flash video in Firefox no longer works (Ubuntu 10.04 64bit).

I inquired in the irc.freenode.org #firefox channel and they told me that since I installed from the Ubuntu repository, that I should file the bug with Ubuntu.

This makes Firefox extremely unusable.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. You seem to have 3 versions of the Flash plugin installed. Please try removing the following 2 versions:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/home/gantry/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Thanks.

Wow. That worked.

I didn't know about the ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I installed the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so by hand

I guess I didn't know that Ubuntu installs it someplace else.

This turned out to be tech support rather than a bug report.

Thanks. I'm sorry for taking up your time.
