[Bug 226797] [NEW] Incorrect plugin version

[Pierre-Antoine Champin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

I installed flashplugin-nonfree, and about:plugins reports the correct
version of the flash plugin (9.0.124). However, some pages (e.g.
http://www.5min.com/) refuses to display flash content.

Then I discovered that an old (9.0.31) version of the plugin was
installed in both .firefox/plugins and .mozilla/plugins. When I removed
that old version, everything works fine.

My guess is that, although firefox reports the system-wide version of
the plugins, it actually uses the personal version (which makes sense).
That would then be a display bug in about:plugin.

release: Hardy
firefox: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
flashplugin-nonfree: 9.0.124.0ubuntu2
