In the machine with the outside access that has been updated: open a
terminal and:

$ locate libflashplayer.so

$ locate libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

On SeaMonkey I simply use 'about:plugins' and it gives me the exact
location:
Shockwave Flash

    File name: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42

However I am not able to do the same on Firefox; Fx only gives me the
version.

Shockwave Flash

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42
