This is in mozilla 1.7.8, but it works the same, I have this:

Shockwave Flash

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63

And this

Shockwave Flash

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r68

Odd, when I was at the site and I clicked on the link for the latest swf 
plugin it gave me fp 7. I now have 9 installed, however, it brought up the 
show playlist once, and decided it needed the latest realplayer installed, 
well thats installed also:
