Can confirm that downloading and installing the flashplugin from the adobe website fixes this.

Here's a quick and dirty command string that should do all this for you.

Steps taken, so you know what happens:
1) Kill firefox, to make sure it isn't running (Best to do this before running, really)
2) purge flashplugin-installer from your system
3) get the archive of libflashplayer.so
4) extract the archive
5) make it executable (not sure if this is needed?)
6) copy libflashplayer.so to your home firefox plugins directory
killall firefox;sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer;wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz;tar -xvf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz;chmod +x libflashplayer.so;cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

I tested the command on my system twice, so it should run fine for you. I am assuming normal usage, if one or two of those commands varies you should know why. (Not using bash shell, prefer aptitude, etc.)
