Sure... provide details. For example:

What version of Ubuntu, what kernel, what architecture (I'll assume its
64bit as you are asking about flashplugin-installer vs
adobe-flashplugin), what desktop, what version of Chrome, or is it
Chromium?, what does about:plugins show (both in FF and Chrome), what does:
$ apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer
show?, what does:
$ locate libflashplayer.so
show?
