Search for libflashplayer.so files. |

Another of my machines had an old one in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins. |
| 17 |
That should have been a symlink to /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 18 |
which is where the ebuild puts the file. |

While the old files in ~/.mozilla/plugins were udoubtedly due to a |
| 21 |
stupid human trick on my part, I don't know how I ended up with an old |
| 22 |
file instead of a symlink in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins. |

I think all of my machines now have a working flashplayer plugin... |
