     Description:         Adobe Flash Player


As shown, I have Flash Player 10 installed.  (I unmasked and upgraded to the 
installed version in an effort to fix this issue.)  On multiple sites, however, 
using Firefox, I get the following message or similar:

Sorry, the Flash Player version you are using is not supported by HBO.com

It appears you are currently using Flash Player 9.0.115 and this site supports 
version 9.0.124 and up. In order to continue, please upgrade your Flash 
Player.


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

Is there another copy of flash installed 'locally'? As in your home
directory? Check ~/.mozilla for a plugins subdirectory to see. 

Cheers,

Well, duh.  No idea how it got there but there it was.  Thank you.
