[Bug 578069] [NEW] firefox adobe flash plugin no longer works

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Release: 10.04 - 64bit
default install

Expected behavior:
After installing the adobe flash plugin in mozilla firefox, a user can switch back to swfdec then go back to the adobe plugin.

Actual behavior:
Everything was working great with the adobe flash plugin for firefox, but I switched back to swfdec player anyway to check something, and now I cannot get back to the adobe plugin.  When I open the "Mange content pluggins" window and find Adobe Flash Movie, it listed swfdec as the player, and adobe is not listed in the dropdown box so I select 'search'.  When I try to apply the adobe installer there, it tells me it's already installed.  I even, uninstalled the pluggin via synaptec and let firefox instal it again in the hope that it would use it, but no.  Even editing the about:config    modules.plugins.mimetype.application/x-shockwave-flash by changing this value to: libflashplayer.so but no change. It uses swfdec anyway.
