Hmmm, thanks for that. I had forgotten about it. As Alan suggested gnash 
may have come from Firefox itself but I don't recall doing such an 
upgrade because the only ones I allow Firefox to put thru are the ones 
for the Theme and the Extensions but not the plugins. However.......

BTW, I upgraded my wife's system about an hour now for the new 
flashplayer.so and her system is fine.
