eg it doesn't seem to like the newer flash.
I disabled it within Firefox - there was no option to "delete" it
there. Restarted Firefox, but that didn't help. Next I did an "apt-get
remove" of nspluginwrapper - it's now quite gone from /usr/lib - and
restarted Firefox. Still no luck. "about:plugins" says no plugins are
installed. At all. So it looks like it's not seeing (or acting on) the
symbolic link.
The hint offered here:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Flash
suggests there's a file (flashplayer.xpt) needed in the "components"
directory. In mine, I see:

That's probably old advice. I remember there used to be that xpt file,
but it's not present on my current system where flash works.
Now that nspluginwrapper is out of the way, maybe try uninstalling
flash-plugin, then reinstalling it? (in case some script didn't work).
if that still doesn't work, try logging as another user (or backup your
profile and clear it), to see if it's your user profile that is bocking
things.
if that still fails I'm out of ideas
good luck
More thoughts? Thanks for the ones offered so far. FWIW, it's not that
I have an inherent problem with downloading the plugin from Adobe
directly and installing it by hand. But it would be nice if I could
manage it with apt-get.
