[Bug 576756] [NEW] Firefox reports wrong version of Flash Player installed

[Nick Hlavacek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox reports that the Flash plug-in is version 9.  Visiting the Adobe
website confirms that the version 9 player is being used.  Version 10 is
not listed as an installed plug-in.

I removed the package adobe-flashplugin and installed flashplugin-
installer.  The install reported that version 10 installed successfully.
Version 9 is still the reported version in Firefox.
