That all worked beautifully until I got to the untested part.  Any 
ideas?  Here is an extract (hopefully containing enough) of what I 
tried.  

root@Tux-II:/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree# 
update-flashplugin-nonfree --status
Flash Player version installed on this system  : 11.2.202.350
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.350
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for flash-mozilla.so
root@Tux-II:/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree# 
cd /home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins/
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins# ls
libflashplayer.so
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins# 
update-flashplugin-nonfree --status
Flash Player version installed on this system  : 11.2.202.350
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.350
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for flash-mozilla.so
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins# rm libflashplayer.so
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins# 
cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins/
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins# 

But I am still getting, as I did in the first place,

Installed plugins
Find updates for installed plugins at mozilla.com/plugincheck
Shockwave Flash

    File: libflashplayer.so
    Path: /home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    Version: 11,2,202,346
    State: Enabled
    Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

As a result of a mistake I made (I mv-ed libflashplayer 
from :/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree to /home/lisi/.mozilla/plugins/ so 
had to cp it back again) I can see that it is indeed the correct 
libflashplayer.so, since the main system still thinks that it has got 
the correct version.  Why does Iceweasel not agree, and how do I 
persuade it to do so?  The Mozilla site just says to do exactly what 
I have done. :-(
