Hi all,

I'm trying to get Flash (10.1.82.76) installed (and working) on
Firefox (3.6.8). I installed adobe-flash and, for good measure,
libflash and libflashsupport:

media-libs/libflash-0.4.10-r1
www-plugins/libflashsupport-1.2  USE="esd gnutls oss pulseaudio -ssl"
www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.1.82.76-r1  USE="(-multilib) (-nspluginwrapper)"

When I go to the Adobe test page
(http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) it says: "You have
version 9,0,115,0 installed". (After closing Firefox and even a full
reboot.)

I uninstalled adobe-flash and checked again: still "You have version
9,0,115,0 installed". So it looks like just emerge-ing adobe-flash is
not enough? Do I need to configure something? Install something else?
Remove something?

It seems like you have installed it locally.  To find out where it is, execute this (as normal user):

  lsof | grep flash

Firefox must be running and flash loaded (opening a YouTube video should do it.)

On my system, lsof finds that my Firefox is using:

  /opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so

which is the latest 10.x version.
