Dimitris, thanks very much for your attention. I appreciate your
trying to help. I fixed the top-reply for you.

It exists and it's a link.

/etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin points to
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

And /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so seems to exist.
And ls -ls gives this info about it.
17000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17406436 2012-07-03 20:51
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

Does that name and directory seem a little odd to you? Can it function
with Firefox if it belongs to root?
