I am coming in at the end of this thread so this may have been already 
covered.

Ask the OP (1) if his installation is a clean install or an upgrade from 
an earlier version and where he, therefore, retained his /home 
directory; (2) is the copy of Firefox the one installed by Ubuntu or 
manually installed from the Mozilla site; and (3) where does the symlink 
for flashplayer point in his setup - is it pointing at the correct 
version of flash (and in the correct directory).
