And, as a kudos to Mario Vukelic from the "Flashplugin-nonfree' thread:
I found that after checking:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/

I'd forgotten to update my ~/.mozilla/plugins libflashplayer.so to
version .15, which adobe-flashplugin provides. So I've now created a
link in ~/.mozilla/plugins to /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
Thanks Mario :-)
