If you really need flash:
Remove all flash .rpm's you previously installed. Donwload the .tar.gz from
Adobe. Copy libflashplayer.so from the archive to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Restart
Firefox. You're done.
Update? Just do the same as described.
I had the 440 version of flash rpm installed (I originally had the 310
version installed) and downloaded the 442 version of the rpm from Adobe,
which installs the plugin into /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/mozilla. As I am
using the upstream nightly version of 64 bit firefox which looks for its
plugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins I put a link to the flash installed
plugin into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and link into
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins pointing at the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
link. I removed pluginreg.dat and restarted firefox but about:plugins
said I still had the 310 version installed. It wasn't until I rebooted
linux that firefox reflected the correct version, which is why I thought
it might be the ldconfig cache. I could have copied the plugin into
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but I don't like having unnecessary copies of
files when links work properly in linux, plus I suspect if I did do that
I would still have had the problem anyway.
