Re: Adobe Flash Update

I found both verisions installed 10.0.32 & 10.0.42 in firefox aboutlugins showed both. Firefox under tools-
add-ons, plugins only showed 10.0.42. When I started a flash video and right click on and selected about
adobe flash it showed 10.0.32 running. I used synaptic and removed 10.0.32 and everything is now ok.
