In firefox, can you post the details of Flash from the page about:plugins Be sure to expand the details tab on the upper right. – penguin359 Apr 6 '11 at 5:14
Actually, my last comment applies to Chrome, but Firefox also has an about:plugins page. – penguin359 Apr 6 '11 at 5:30

Do you have the latest flash plugin?

Also, you can give Gnash a try, see what happens :)
