I've installed Flash Player 10.1 to do some tests, now I can't go back to the lastest version (10.3).

I've gone to the Flash download page, downloaded and installed "APT for Ubuntu 10.04+", but it's still showing "10.1" at playerversion.com. In both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Any idea how to solve this?

Locate Flash player in the Software Center and uninstall it (adobe-flashplugin?). Next, install flashplugin-installer. After the installation has completed, restart the browser.

You must have installed it manually. Running locate libflashplayer.so on my system yields:

/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
/usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/var/cache/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

Check if there is a libflashplayer.so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins. If existent, delete it.

  • Done, but it's still showing "10.1". Now I just uninstalled it and restarted the browsers, and it's still showing "10.1", I think I need to uninstall it somewhere else.. Jun 22, 2011 at 13:33

    Please check ~/.mozilla/plugins and compare the result of locate libflashplayer.so with mine.

  • Cool, both Mozilla and Chrome were using the Mozilla plugin. Now it was successful uninstalled. Thanks! Jun 22, 2011 at 14:02
  • run locate libflashplayer.so and delete it from all locations, then reinstall.

You can also try Flash-Aid firefox extension; very simple and pain free.

    This worked for me, although it is a security gamble since it requires sudo permission for the script that gets run.
