Whatever happened to 'about:plugins' in the address bar? That tells you what plugin is being used, as well as the version (we are we talking about iceweasel, right?). Personally, here at home, /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so is a symlink to /home/curty/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. This was done because no taking precedence over /etc/alternatives was taking place. I put the plugin there so I don't have to be root to update it after I wget the newest version from Adobe.
