NoOp--
I used Synaptic Package Manager -- this is 9-04 that's on the computer -- to
remove gnash and mozilla-plugin-gnash.
John--
ububntu-restricted-extras was already downloaded, so I reinstalled it and
rebooted the computer.
RESULT:  Unfortunately, black screens are still being displayed where the
streaming video should be.
:-(
I respectfully await further suggestions.
