In fact I think I have managed to locate the gnash 0.8.4 and swfdec 0.8.0 packages in synaptic and remove them after all, so I won't have to re-install the whole of firefox. They have their own little dependencies, which are still in there but non-removable, so maybe I should have used the 'complete removal', rather than just 'removal' buttons, or maybe I should have ticked every one of them rather than the principal ones alone, but I shall see how I get on with embedded flash videos in future, anyway, and if necessary do some more experimentation in synaptic. thanks.
