Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Please provide the results of the following command run in a terminal:

apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree swfdec-mozilla mozilla-plugin-gnash adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-installer

This will let us know what flash players you have installed so that we can better diagnose your issue. Thank you.
