All the ones you mention plus hal-trinity. But so has my husband's computer.
He has only the one libflashplayer.so, the mozilla one.
I, on the other hand, have three:
/home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Plus two actually on my computer in some old files belonging to a client.
Reported in iceweasel thus:

File: libflashplayer.so,libflashplayer.so,libflashplayer.so
Path:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so,/usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so,/home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Version: 11.2.202.350
State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

And then a table.
My husband has:

Path: /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so
Version: 11.2.202.508

So it should be his that is working and mine that is not!
We both have Iceweasel 40.0.3-3~bpo70+1, though they manage to look very
different.
Earlier in this saga, Peter had both flashplugin-nonfree and
flashplayer-mozilla, but as it didn't work I aptitude purged both, then
installed flashplayer-mozilla.
The problem on my husband's computer is that it complains that adblocker
software is installed and working, so won't play. It isn't. I have allowed
pop-ups, allowed cookies, cleared the cache. I am stuck!
