Hi Lisi, Not sure if this will work for you, but I've got firefox (the "real thing") from this repository (pasting the apt sources line): deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main If I remember correctly, (may just as well be dreaming) firefox downloaded the flash plugin by itsself? You could give it a try if nothing else helps out. Good luck!
