Workaround: install the Flash plugin manually from Adobe

1) Clean up any remaining failed install files:
sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
2) Get the file directly from Adobe:
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
3) Close any Firefox windows, extract the files, install:
tar -xzvf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
cd install_flash_player_9_linux/
./flashplayer-installer
4) Follow instructions

Same instrcutions / file can be obtained from:
