11 As shown, I have Flash Player 10 installed. (I unmasked and upgraded to the
12 installed version in an effort to fix this issue.) On multiple sites, however,
13 using Firefox, I get the following message or similar:
14
15 Sorry, the Flash Player version you are using is not supported by HBO.com
16
17 It appears you are currently using Flash Player 9.0.115 and this site supports
18 version 9.0.124 and up. In order to continue, please upgrade your Flash
19 Player.

22 The same page will work in Opera. Firefox is installed via the firefox-bin
23 package rather than the source package. Fixes or suggestions for avenues of
24 investigation would be greatly appreciated.
