Hmm... after an updatedb, did this
# locate mozilla-plug
No results.

Looks like I'm OK there.
$ cd .mozilla;find . -iname '*plug*'./firefox/9be8vroz.default/pluginreg.dat-./firefox/9be8vroz.default/pluginreg.dat-2./firefox/9be8vroz.default/pluginreg.dat
# locate flash-plugin/home/hardtolove/Desktop/flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm/usr/lib/flash-plugin/usr/lib/flash-plugin/LICENSE/usr/lib/flash-plugin/README/usr/lib/flash-plugin/homecleanup/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so/usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup/usr/share/doc/flash-plugin-10.0.12.36/usr/share/doc/flash-plugin-10.0.12.36/readme.txt
This is the one from the adobe site.
# rpm -qv flash-pluginflash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release

Did it.
# rpm -q nspluginwrappernspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-22.el5
However, when I restart FF, this plugin does _not_ appear in thetools->add-ons plugins tab window. Should it? The pluginreg.dat seems tohave been updated and the nspluginwrapper is in there.

Might be hard to tell since the behavior is inconsistent. But everythingis now set the way "we" think it should be.

Since missing stuff reappeared during testing, I guess there will be adelay while I see if the behavior occurs again.
I'll keep this post and post either when it happens again or after a fewdays if it doesn't happen again.
