Can you explain that? As a FWIW I have these installed: (hand copied from the synaptic screen, and these archives are not present in /var/cache/apt/archives. Accuracy of hand copying dubious) flash-plugin-nonfree 1.3.2+wheezy1 pepperflash-plugin-nonfree 1.4~bpo60+1 browser-plugin-lightspark 0.6.0.1-2 browser-plugin-gnash 0.8.11~git20120629-1+deb7u1 konqueror-plugin-gnash same version as above All the usual lightspark suspects are installed, as are all the usual suspects for gnash. I have put up with this slow destruction of what iceweasel can do, dating back to other installs as long as 2 years back. No one else seems to be having problems with it they can't fix. Whats next? Nuke em all & see if iceweasel can fix it when its all missing? > But the installation of the flash plugin is not that complicated.
