User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110810 SeaMonkey/2.5a1 Build ID: 20110810003133 Steps to reproduce: Under Help menu, I choose About Plugins to view the list. Actual results: Latest Adobe Flash Player plug-in, released today for Lion-compliance, doesn't exist in the list. But it does works. SeaMonkey, though, doesn't recognize it.
Firefox latest 6.0 beta and latest Lion Safari don't recognize the plugin, them too. Problem is the plugin?
Tells me that I've the version 10.3.183.5 installed. The latest.
It should be listed as "Shockwave Flash". Also try Tools->Add-ons Manager. Then go to the Plugins tab. You should see an entry like: Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5
OK. But... why is it listed with this name?

Back then, Macromedia marketing droids had a brainwave and decided to branded everything Shockwave <something> e.g. Shockwave Director, Shockwave Flash. I guess Adobe kept the name for historical reasons when they bought Macromedia.
OK, so this should probably be resolved as "Invalid"?, I guess?
Oh, sorry - I just noticed that it was resolved as invalid.
