Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I just installed Ubuntu yesterday, and I love it but I got a problem.... Whenever I go on to a website that has flash content, it says that I need to install missing plugins and I end up getting a dialogue box saying "You already have flashplugin-nonfree installed" or something similar. I really need flash to work as the whole Cisco Academy Website is based on it.
Any help will be appreciated.

P.S. I am new to Linux

not a firefox bug ...

 affects ubuntu/firefox
 status invalid

but a flashplugin-nonfree one

 affects ubuntu/flashplugin-nonfree
 status incomplete

please install the flashplugin-nonfree package manually (through
add/remove software).

Thanks,
