I am running 32-bit Maverick with the latest nVidia driver which, 
together with the adobe flashplugin, came from Canonical via the Update 
Manager.

An interesting thing: the Synaptic Package Manager shows that the new 
plugin is installed and yet in Firefox's list of installed plugins the 
old (v10.1r-something) was showing - the new plugin was not recognised[1].

[1] After I checked this out I went and changed the symlink in 
/etc/alternatives to point to the old plugin so I now once again can 
view the videos on YouTube and the BBC.
