If you both have the same version of the adobe-flash package, then it's crystal clear that there must be some other version of the plugin that's interfering. Probably something that one of you installed by hand, either globally or locally (on her home folder). This is one of the reasons why I would advice against the advice someone gave you above. Installing things by hand is not a good thing if you plan to forget about them as the time passes by. What I'd do. First make sure you don't have installed some other flash plugin via portage, check that swfdec, lightspark and/or gnash are not installed. If they are, uninstall them. After that, use this command to see where your plugin lives and if there's some other in some alternative place: $ locate libflashplayer.so Ask here if you are not sure about the output. Also, note that there can be plugins installed locally under ~/, so if after the above you can't still find the 6.x plugin that's causing the mess it might be a good idea to run something like $ find $HOME -name libflashplayer.so And see what happens. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
