Because the Flash player is proprietary software, bugs cannot be handled or fixed here. You will need to visit http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform and complete the steps there to file a bug with Adobe.

Hello, I had the same issue and was able to correct it following this procedure.

sudo dpkg -r flashplugin-nonfree
sudo dpkg --purge flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Jacob: Thank you for the pointer to Adobe, but this is a packaging problem, not a code problem. Something in the new firefox beta is breaking the previously working plugin, and freshening the package fixes it. Some attention to what the Firefox package is overwriting will likely fix this bug.

I'm having the same problem on Hardy Beta. The fix posted above doesn't fix the problem (stopping about 2 seconds into any flash movie).
