It worked for IE and FF 2.0, but once i upgraded to FF 3.0, the upgrade will not be seen, so i am left with blank space on many webpages that say "install plugin". I have done this over and over and over again with no luck.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on spot where it says "Click here to download plugin"
2. Hit next ( adobe flash player is the only plugin that is shown). you cannot install it through firefox, it has to be manually installed.
3. I manually install it through Adobes website and installer program.
4. Restart firefox.

Actual Results:  
No fix to the problem.

Expected Results:  
Installed the plugin.

It happens with every theme and MANY webpages (since so many involve flash nowadays.
