Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Since i'm running 64 bit, i'm having a lot of problems running flash. When the flahsplayer works, i can only start one instance it seems. When i have for example a youtube page running a movie and open a second tab and open a simple webpage that has a flash object everything dies.

I'm trying to install the flashplugin with the nswrapper and the ia32 bit tools nog and the flash completely fails to install.

my ubuntu version :
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

Greetings,

Mayk
