This doesn't seem right. Purge everything flash related - particularly
any swfdec stuff - using Synaptic (use the 'Completely Remove' and
reinstall (again via Synaptic) the adobe-flashplugin. Only install that
one, nothing else. Now start Fx again and check: about:plugins.

You might also want to install Fx 3.5 instead of Fx 3.0 for security
reasons. Select the firefox-3.5 package and install.
