22 It seems like you have installed it locally. To find out where it is,
23 execute this (as normal user):
24
25 lsof | grep flash
26
27 Firefox must be running and flash loaded (opening a YouTube video should
28 do it.)
29
30 On my system, lsof finds that my Firefox is using:
31
32 /opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so
33
34 which is the latest 10.x version.
