flash

About 2 weeks ago my browsers started bothering me to upgrade flash. Eventually, I did, and now I have no flash at all in Safari.

I downloaded and installed the newest flash installer from Adobe. Firefox works fine. Safari does not, I just get the blue lego and a 'No handler for this content type' message. Other plugins, such as 1Password, seem fine. I have tried:

Reinstalling flash umpteen times
Deleting /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt
Deleting ~/Library/Application Data/Safari

I'm not sure what else to do.
