After updating firefox 5 (from stable repo) the flash player stopped working. I have had installed the adobe flash player square (64 bit) - by following http://queleimporta.com/en/finally-adobe-releases-native-64-bit-flash-10-for-linux/ ... The .so library is still on its place(/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so), though firefox does not seem to have flash player installed.

before update to firefox 5 it worked

system is Xubuntu 10.04

Finally I've found out that it's possible to install flash from lucid repositories (which works... named 'flashplugin installer')... I've never noticed that before... So sorry for asking stupid question and thanks to anyone who spend some time even only by reading this thread.

//EDIT: so question 2 - how to tag the topic as solved? :)

Had the same problem again on another system and came across https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/843651 - complete reinstallation also works ;)
