file `cat /proc/$(pgrep firefox)/cmdline`
should tells us whether firefox is 32 or 64-bit.

Also:

uname -i

Will tell us if you're using a 64-bit/32-bit OS (if you're 64-bit, but
using a 32-bit firefox, then it's probable you're updating the wrong version
of flash).

Also, it's worth checking the url:

about:plugins

in firefox,  to see if it's finding any at all. If it is, the output of:

cat /proc/$(pgrep firefox)/maps  |grep flash

ought to show the actual shared-objects being loaded (the paths may prove
useful; in my case, my flash shared object isn't actually in a package, but
is pulled in via flashplugin-installer).

also the output of

dpkg --get-selections |grep flash

Would be helpful.
