Yes, in both the Mozilla browser and Firefox the about plugins page shows:
Shockwave Flash

File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 d55

I have nothing in there about flash.

A symlnk or just copy the file there as well.

I'll go threw the procedure I did when installing flash9:
1. Remove (uninstall) the package "flashplugin-nonfree" version 7 (sudo
apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree)
2. Download the tar.gz from the adobe website [1]
3. Unpack the file
4. In Konsole (K-menu -> System):
sudo -s
cd flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.55
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
exit
exit

Then, in Firefox or Mozilla, I go to about.plugins or a site with flash
on it and I can see flash9 installed.
