Here's an odd problem/situation I just had.
On an older Mac, I had the opportunity to install a newer OS (10.5).
Due to the architecture of the system (PPC) I am still limited to SM 2.0
and FF 3.5. and Flash 10 (or the cool hacked Flash 10 that pretends it
Flash 11 to make web sites work).
Anyway, on Mac, there is an "Internet Plug-Ins" folder at the same level
as the User directory. All plug-ins are supposed to go there, and they
do automatically*, thus ensuring that all users of the machine have the
same functionality in web browsers. What's odd is, FF claimed the Flash
plug-in wasn't there. SM knew it was. (used about:plugins on both).
Knowing that all User accounts /also/ have an "Internet Plug-Ins" folder
I added a copy of Flash to that folder, and now both SM and FF can use
Flash. I had to do this for the other user accounts too.
I have never had to do that on any of the other five Macs I have
administered
Weird.

* by automatically, I mean if on day-1 with fresh empty computer you
click the "get flash" button on a web page and follow all the instructions
