I'm sorry about that. I have this tendancy to reinstall Flash as a tester
when making a new package build.

The problem is that the XEMBED support changed radically between 0.91.9.4
and 0.9.91.5, and as a result you'll need to run '-u' to  update the plugin
wrapper, otherwise the plugin stub will fail to initialise correctly.

If you've installed the Flash plugin as root, run the following as root.
Otherwise run it as a normal user:

    nspluginwrapper -v -a -u

Restart Fireweasel/icefox or your browser-of-choice and it should come back
to life.

Let me know if this problem still persists after this. I will put a notice
in during upgrade for the next package release.
