Ian:

There is a package in the Ubuntu repository called 
flashplugin-instcaller, which (after you install it) will install the 
flash-plugin version for Linux on your machine, which then works in 
FireFox.

I have been using that successfully on all of my machines, and to my 
knowledge, with no problems.
