That's why. You have too many plugins. If you install all those they conflict and you get nothing.

If you run:

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk gnash gnash-common; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree

You will have no issue after you restart all your browsers.
