I installed the Flash 11 plugin using the software center (and have also removed the reinstalled it via command-line in the terminal), yet Firefox still claims the latest version of the plugin I have is 10. (And just to clarify, I have been sure to reboot both Firefox and the entire computer after installing).
On further investigation (this may be a red herring, pardon) I ran the uname -a command-line in terminal to assure that I was running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, and received this feedback:
3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:25:36 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I don't understand the series "i686 i686 i386". Which applies to my version of Ubuntu? Does this mean I've accidentally installed 32-bit Ubuntu?
Very much a beginner here – I've combed the threads but have so little understanding what my exact issue is that I haven't been able to find an answer.

You appear to have installed the 32 bit version of Ubuntu. You might want to see if you have flash installed directly in your profile:
If you do, you might want to note where it is and move it out of the way (while Firefox is closed). Then, reinstall the version from Software Center.
