Hi
I just found out I had the exact same problem on my laptop.
Pretty simple to fix: The package only has to be reinstalled.
Open up a terminal - run the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
It should work now. PS: You may get a different result if you're behind a proxy-server, as the installer may not know about the proxy settings. We can assist you with that if you encounter any error messages during the execution of the two given commands.
I hope it helps :)
Regards, Trygve

If you navigate your browser to the following address: about:plugins
Do you see "Shockwave Flash" anywhere?
Does youtube work now or do you still get the same error messages as earlier?

The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins.
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
* All types .* No

If you in Firefox navigate through the following menus: Tools -> Extensions, click plugins.
Do you find Shockwave Flash in the list? If yes; Is it possible to right click on it and turn it on?
I hope this helps
