Of course, it didn't ACTUALLY get better until I got annoyed enough to
figure out how to upgrade my system's version of flash. I went out
and followed web instructions for apt-removing the older version and
installed the newer deb from Adobe.
Of course, that didn't fix it either. Eventually it bugged me enough
to do something else, so I figured "Maybe about:plugins?", and it gave
me a page, and I noticed that I had two flash plug-ins. Didn't tell
me where they were coming from, though. Eventually I found the second
plug-in in .mozilla/plugins. Being confident in my ability to restore
Firefox from the ground up, I nuked it from orbit.
Given the history of ways to install things on Linux, I wonder if it
wouldn't be worth having additional information for that platform
about stuff like this. about:plugins tells me the filename to look
for, but not where to look. And about:plugins isn't very
discoverable, even if you know that you should be looking for
something - I think that if we see two versions of libflashplayer.so,
we can be pretty sure something is wrong.
[And I'm getting tired of not being able to use C-n in my compose
windows. I had to dismiss four New Windows from just this email. I'm
sure printing support will make me additionally happy on this front
:-). Yes, I'll go file a bug or something.]
