Updates since I had more free time on a CATurday. ;) I found a Flash 
uninstaller from Adobe's KB web site so I downloaded it, ran it, tested 
to see if Firefox said no Flash (confirmed), and then reinstalled Flash 
but it did not fix Safari's plug-in problem. I also noticed this in Mac 
OS X 10.5.8's console log during installation to launching Safari:

Note the last few lines. I wonder if those are causing Flash plugin not 
to show up in Safari. :(

I also got help in my http://forums.adobe.com/message/4349097 forum 
thread, but no resolutions yet. I do see Flash's plug-in in Library > 
Internet Plug-ins folder. I don't know if there are supposed to be other 
non-Flash plugins as well beside disabled Java that I did last week.
