Synaptic: 10.0.32.18-1(now) for AdobeFlash plugin BUT Firefox 3.6.12 doesn't work!


I realize that this seems to be a resolved issue but it is not for me.
On Ubuntu 10.04, Synaptic indicates that current version {10.0.32.18-1(now) for AdobeFlash plugin} is latest but websites appear to indicate that latest version is 10.0.45-1.
Synaptic Upgrade button is grayed and I am stuck!

All came about by accessing following site:
http://www.kohlerserviceparts.kohler...62a7ee9d84c2b5

Had to revert to Firefox on XP (!) to see diagram.

Is there a more current (latest) version for Firefox under Ubuntu 10.04 and if so, how do I go about installing it?

I tried to download and got a ...
"Status: Error: Conflicts with installed package 'flashplugin-installer'" when I clicked on the .deb file.

Any help appreciated.

FF Tools>Addons .....Flash Player plugin

When I go to Add-ons for Ff and query:
"Flash Player plugin", 9 results are returned and none apply.
"Flash Player" returns 43 and none of these appear to apply.

Still stuck!

Have you edited sources list to include
"debian multimedia"
"flashplugin-nonfree"
Flashplugin is in debian backports

It's easier to just deal with software center, but if you're not getting good results you can add
Debian multimedia
Debian backports
to your /etc/apt/sources.list
I'm pretty sure that I added to my ubuntu.

It's not a good idea to add Debian repositories to a Ubuntu machine.
They are not compatible and you will break your system eventually.

I aplogize as I just checked my ubuntu installation and was not able to get on games and it wasn't debian multimedia either.
Any way I couldn't play the games.
Everything I need was in Ubuntu Software Center.
Under Canonical
Sun Java6 (jre bin plugin)
after these were installed I was able to almost get in.
I don't know if it helped but I uncommented backports in /etc/apt/sources.list

Firefox prompt for installation of other additional items and I was in.
Good luck hope this helps
