Public bug reported:
I have the / and /home on separated partitions. When I usually reinstall Ubuntu
I mount old /home partition to restore old config, including installed flash
plugin. At this time after reinstall I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
and when i was getting a flash on web page firefox plugin install dialog
spawned. I tried to install Adobe flash plugin and got "flasplugin-nonfree is
installed". I closed firefox, removed flasplugin-nonfree, started firefox,
tried to install plugin again. Package was installed, installer was downloaded
from Adobe site, but firefox still asking me to install plugin.... even after
restart.
No folder ~/.mozilla/plugins was created after installation. I've tried to
install plugin several times and in the end I've deleted flasplugin-nonfree
package, downloaded .tar.gz installer from adobe site and installed plugin
manually.
My ubuntu-restricted-extras version is 10, from gutsy repository.
