[ale] stupid firefox/flash combo

So firefox now will block and outdated flash binary from running. Nice!
However, the flash binary is as current as Adobe offers on Linux. The
binary has strings claiming it to be the latest 11.x.x.x.442 but Firefox
_STILL_ says it's 11.x.x.x.440.

I've removed all flash plugins and install from adobe yum, installed
from adobe rpm. Both deliver a version claiming to be 442 but firefox
still says it's 440. I can't tell whose at fault here.

Not that I'm missing the pile of flash ads on slashdot.
