Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

First time you launch Firefox, and want to go to youtube, for example, the missing plugin shows up, because flash is not installed. But when you click on it , and go through the wizard, there is no option to install it, and shows "no suitable plugins found". This functionnality used to work with the preceding version of Ubuntu.

It should show an option to install Adobe Flash, or Gnash.
