Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Going for example on youTube web site, firefox propose to install missing plugins used for the current page. But the automatic install of Adobe Flashplayer fails with the error window displaying: Can not find 'flashplugin-
Indeed the automatic installation works well it you have previously selected the "All application available" repository. But a new user trying the live CD can be not aware of that and just conclude that the Flashplayer just does not work with ubuntu. I think that an error message saying that the good repository is not selected and give a link to the "Software Source" program will already help some users.

not a firefox bug, moving adding apturl as a potential target.
