Firefox uses plugin helpers. If two or more are capable of handling the same types of files, it will supposedly use the one which is newer. But changing the datestamp doesn't change the preference. Under Ubuntu 8.10, Fedora 10, Ubuntu 9.04, Firefox tries to use the free software libswfdecmozilla.so in preference to Adobe's libflashplayer.so.
Workaround:
install the official adobe flashplayer. This may require unpacking and copying in the libflashplayer.so file. I am currently using 10.0 r22; Some newer versions seem to inject advertisements directly into the video stream, which is extremely annoying.
type "locate libswfdecmozilla.so" . Move or rename the file.
