After rebooting to the latest kernel update, about:plugins says almost

miraculously went away when I upgraded and restarted Firefox. No such
luck this time -- rebooting to the old kernel and removing &
re-installing Firefox doesn't help.
Firefox now says the 64-bit alpha Flash plug-in that was working
perfectly yesterday is missing,
although /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so is still there.

The firefox plugin search path is defined in the /usr/bin/firefox start
up script.
On a 32-bit system (or one where the exec perms are removed from
/usr/lib64/firefox-<version>/firefox ) the plugin path is
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.16/plugins
On a 64-bit system it is
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.16/plugins
If the plugins aren't in those directories (or linked there),
about:plugins won't report.
If you run firefox from a terminal, it may give you an idea about why it
isn't finding things. Otherwise, you can add "set -x" to the top of
/usr/bin/firefox and watch for MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
