Do you have the packaged version of Flash installed? What does this show?:
dpkg -l |grep -i flash |awk '{print $2}'
I would try removing any packaged version of flash (flashplugin-nonfree), and
install the per-user version from Adobe (ie. install as a regular user), and
see if that works.
Just download the tar.gz, extract, cd in and run the installer. Always works
for me.
