Both those work.

Re adobe-flashplugin - after enabling the partner repository for jaunty,
I attempted an install, but got this:

kauer at karl:~$ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package adobe-flashplugin has no installation candidate

Further clues gratefully received.

I purged  flashplugin-nonfree, then did the locate. No files were
located.

Reinstalling nonfree gives me youtube, but sites like Ebaumsworld remain
stubbornly closed to me, but they DID work until only days ago.

Regards, K.
