F8: Firefox v2.0.xxx

Shockwave Flash

    File name: nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes
application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash Player 	spl 	Yes


F9: Firefox v3.0.xxx

Shockwave Flash

    File name: nswrapper_32_32.libswfdecmozilla.so
    Shockwave Flash 9.0 r100

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Adobe Flash movie 	swf 	Yes
application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash movie 	spl 	Yes



So -- the wierd thing is, that in F8, the Adobe Flash player works for all
swf files within the browser, even though it says: "Shockwave Flash",
but in F9, even though it says "Adobe Flash movie", it resorts to using
swfdec 0.6.0. !

I have no clue why Firefox v3.0 does not seem to recognize adobe flash
and I have tried several times to reset the application within FF 3.0 to
no avail.
