Maureen, I was wondering the same (not so "simple") thing: Did
libflashplayer.so eventually and ultimately install in the right place
in your file hierarchy?

In years past, I've gone so far as to put it everywhere I thought
rational until it would work. My method of operation was/is to target
any sub-directories with the name "plugins" for each and every browser
I used.

Eventually I picked one higher profile location for the "real",
original libflashplayer.so file. I then symlinked everywhere else so
that I only had to replace that one primary file on upgrades. It never
caused me noticeable conflicts, but that might not be the same
experience for others.

The only caveat I've faced so far is that I have to remember to repeat
that process when I start from scratch with each new, regular
debootstrap (full operating system install) attempt.

Another thing is there is at least one related "toggle" usually
available in a browser's preference settings. It would be about
plugins if it exists. It would be about enabling/disabling/deleting
and is something that it never hurts to check off on a debug list.

Just thinking out loud... :)
