Checked about:plugins in Firefox and Chromium and they both show up with the
correct version.

Yup. I copied it to that location and did a search to see where else it
might be. It came up with:

/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer, and
/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources

To verify whether a random 'libflashplayer.so' is 32 or 64 bit, run

I got a page full of gobbledegook, so I'm assuming it's the latter
situation! The frustrating thing is that I've copied the new file to all the
locations that came up in the search.

There is also a file called npwrapper.libflash.so, with various links to it
- I'm thinking this might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. If
I decide to completely remove all flash-related stuff and start from
scratch, is it safe to delete all these files?

Everything worked out of the box with 32-bit versions, but 64-bit is doing
my head in. Never let it be said that I don't like a challenge!!!

Regards,

Gus
