My son did that on his laptop... took me nearly a full day to figure out
the problem and clean out all the gnash stuff and reinstall Sun Flash so
that he could youtube etc., again.

If you are not running 64bit then just download flash from
<http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=shockwaveFlash>
(tar.gz for Linux) extract and then create a plugins folder in your
.mozilla folder (directory): mkdir .mozilla/plugins
Now copy the libflashplayer.so to the .mozilla/plugins folder and
restart Fx etc. and you should be good to go.
