According to a private email reply to this thread, I removed the 0.4.1x
packages, which I found with Synaptic, of which 3 I found.

Now Firefox reports only v7.0r63 installed, but the Disney site still
requires I update to the latest version to use their site. :-(

Synaptic shows there is is still an 0.3.6-0 decoder library and
swf-player installed. Do they need to be removed as well? FF doesn't
report them.
