Could you please reinstall the flash package?

sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer

[RioKuro (riokuro)]

I have already experimented with that, including reinstalling firefox.
In Aurora it doesn't even start.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Thank you for the update. Do you have compiz installed?

[RioKuro (riokuro)]

Thanks turning it off did the trick! I won't be missing Compiz anytime soon but i can imagine people who will.
btw i did an update-manager -d upgrade to karmic coming from jaunty, don't know if it helps.

thanks for your time!
