Bug Description

Hello,

There is a misleading description in Adobe Flash plugin in Software Center. It says "Installer for the Adobe Flash plugin for Mozilla", however, if you click more info, description states that plugin will work on multiple browsers as well.

I personally found this confusing since i was looking plugin for Chromium. It could be fixed to something like: "Installer for Adobe Flash plugin for various browsers"

I agree, the description in "more info" states that :

The Adobe Flash Player plugin will work with a range of web-browsers including, limited to:
Firefox
Chromium
SeaMonkey
Iceweasel
Iceape
Galeon
Epiphany
Konqueror

So like Samu Mankinen said above, the short description should not limit the plugin to Mozilla.
