Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When i go on some websites which use flash, the part of the site where
the flash content should be is instead replaced with a grey box. From
searching around, i havn't found a solution to this problem anywhere but
other people seem to have this problem and it seems to relate back to
the fact that i have a AMD64 computer. Reinstalling flash is a quick
temporary fix but its always the same flash applications that break it
and they break it for every other flash application too. Avoiding them
or reinstalling the entire operating system isn't really a realistic way
of solving this problem so does anybody have some idea of what i could
do to fix this?
