Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
If you install the flashplugin-nonfree package and then remove it in order to use Gnash, Firefox reports that there is no Flash plugin and requests you to install it, but this issue is not fixed even if you instruct Firefox to reinstall Gnash. This in turn requires that you setup Gnash on Firefox manually.

Here is a workaround for all you hardy / firefox-3.0b4 users. This will also work with other versions of firefox. Just change the destination directory. firefox- 3.0b4" while gnash is installing to "/usr/lib/firefox". I am sure once hardy is released firefox will again use "/usr/lib/firefox".
The problem is that firefox is using "/usr/lib/
NOTE: Also remove any other files with "flash" in the name from the "/usr/lib/ firefox- 3.0b4/plugins" before running the command below to remove any previous installs of Adobe flash.
sudo cp /usr/lib/ firefox/ plugins/ flashplugin- alternative. so /usr/lib/ firefox- 3.0b4/plugins/
Good Luck and happy youtubing
