You see. I was about to post that I've solved it by adding:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
It worked for me...

Same issue: disabled the gtalk plugin and ran sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer. Issue was resolved immediately.

Solved following the steps described by George (#4).
Why isn't an easier way to get a fix on such an issue? It took me a while to find the solution, what should a non experience user do in such cases...?
