After reading this thread, I am wondering if it more a problem with the
site, rather than your setup.

First of all, ask Firefox what is installed. In the address bar type
<about:plugins> (without <>). It will show you all the plugins that
Firefox thinks are installed.

If Flash is listed (mine is the first plugin, Shockwave Flash), then it
is not a problem with your setup, but rather a problem with the site.

Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, has not released a Flash player for
Linux past version 7.0 r63. There are many sites out there now, that are
using Flash that require at least Flash 8 in order to work. What site
are you trying to view the Flash on?

I did read somewhere what Adobe is working on Flash 9 for Linux (and the
rest of the world), maybe on this list, but there was no information
about when it would be released to the public.
