In addition, I would do a:

sudo updatedb
locate libflashplayer.so

Note: updatedb is to ensure that any new installs are detected on the
'locate' as updatedb is only updated every 24 hours otherwise.

Then do an md5sum on each to ensure that they match. If they do not,
replace any older with the new one (rename the old one in case you want
to fall back & copy the new one to it's place).

So, if you find something like:

/home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

Do an md5sum on both:

md5sum /home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
md5sum /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

and compare.
