WTF do I have to do?
1. Download the latest Flash plugin

You're done.

And later added:
1. Download the latest Flash plugin
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/

You choose the .tar.gz archive.

Yesssss!!!!  It worked.  Thank you hugely.

    cheers,

P. S.  Surely there should be something in the instructions or mechanism for
installing flash to the effect that libflashplayer.so (or a copy thereof) has to
be placed in the user's "private" plugins directory ~/.mozilla/plugins.

There seems to be a gap here that could very easily be filled.

OTOH this appears only to have affected ***me***.  What is different about
my system?  This is basically of academic interest at the moment, since I've
got things working, but it could be of practical interest sometime in the future.
