Let's start with the minor fact, that '9.0' is significantly
smaller than even '10.0'. Next, I think that the latest firefox
may need latest flash (10.1), due to recent changes.

sure but www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.1.53.64 also dont work
Comment 3 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2010-07-07 12:41:22 UTC
If about:plugins shows the flash plugin, then it is installed correctly.
For amd64 users, Adobe did not publish a 64-bit 10.1 plugin so you have to use nspluginwrapper or firefox-bin.

Resolving as INVALID, please reopen if none of the above applies to you.
