Yes, it is found.  And I've used two different packages to install it.
 Flash plays in, say, youtube and guitartricks, so it is usually okay.

Another possible issue is that I'm using kubuntu with the new 5.5 KDE
release.  I don't see how that could affect Firefox and flash, but
thought I'm mention it.
