Search for libflashplayer.so files.
Another of my machines had an old one in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins.
That should have been a symlink to /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
which is where the ebuild puts the file.
While the old files in ~/.mozilla/plugins were udoubtedly due to a
stupid human trick on my part, I don't know how I ended up with an old
file instead of a symlink in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins.
I think all of my machines now have a working flashplayer plugin...
