I reinstalled Squeeze and I now have Google Chrome installed and mostly
working. I used teh stable deb from Google, ratrher than use the
repositories and install chromium-browser. I used dpkg -i and installed teh
dependencies with apt-get -f install.
This time, Flashplayer and Google Chrome both installed fine. And both Chrome
and Iceweasel have recognised Flashplayer:

In the case of both pdf and flash I have ticked always allowed. (After it
didn't work, not before, but it didn't solve anything.)

But Flash will still not run in either.
Chrome shows a blacked out screen with a jigsaw piece in the middle with a
downturned mouth. Sometimes I see the error message "couldn't load plugin"
immediately before the screen comes up. That is it. Things don't play.
Iceweasel simply shows a black screen. Nothing else happens.
I have Googled on the error message, but could find nothing helpful.
Since no-one else has problems with Flash, it is obviously something to do
with me; but I am at a loss as to what.
It is frustrating to be so near and yet so far. So, help! please.
Thank you,
Lisi
