oh jesus, thats why

You only want ONE flash plugin or yuo get nothing as they conflict.

This will fix you up:

killall firefox; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin flashblock flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash libswfdec-0.8-0 swfdec-gnome swfdec-mozilla; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Uninstalls ALL those flash plugins, then just installs the adobe one.

this helped tttthhhhhaaannnkkkk uuuuuuuuuuu ssssssssoooooo much

You now know a little more about the OS. Less is more

=D

Glad you got the gold

hi I have the same problem but dont understand your text. cant seem to get some of the characters you have suggested.
is it -1? in the command?

thanks
sorry to trouble you,

dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; uname -a

| is a pipe, its usually in one of 3 places, above enter, next to Z or left of the number one key

'dpkg -l' would be spoken: dee-pee-kay-gee minus ell
or in caps
DPKG -L

basically dpkg -l will output ALL packages on your system. We then use wonderful grep to filter what we want to see

FYI. You don't have to type anything, you can copy and paste to the terminal which is why I ALWAYS give the full command if I can so this copy/paste can be used.
