Bug Description

not really a bug but a definite problem with Adobe flash-player 11 not being seen by Firefox in the ad-dons/plug-ins i have another machine with the same problem had to switch to Google chrome latest version to be able to use flash. Current OS Kubuntu 11.04 Natty all updates applied. I have another machine (notebook) as well with the same OS flash-player is currently working and shows it installed could be a matter of time before the same thing happens to it as well considering how it started not sure the cause but firefox is losing out to Google chrome i really don't wanna use windows for the entertainment aspect.

Well, your bug report shows flash as not even installed. This isn't a Firefox bug, so reassigning to flash instead

affects:

firefox (Ubuntu) → flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu)

Probably something went wrong with the download. Please reinstall flashplugin-installer in your package manager. At least that worked for me.
