I have found the problem, though flash plugin of swfdec works fine for
most of the sites, but still few of the sites doesn't work properly
one of which is the integrated yahoo chat with the webmail.

The solution is as follows :
Step 1: Open terminal, and delete the hidden folder .mozilla in your
home folder. (/home/your user name/.mozilla)

Step 2: Uninstall all Flash and Firefox packages using Sysnaptic. Just
type: flash and firefox into the search text to find plugins which
installed in your computer.

Step 3: Install Flash player using Sysnaptic.

Step 4: Install firefox again.

Now, you can open your firefox and try again with some web site that
embed Flash inside.
Good luck

Thanks

Arun
