Hi Bev
I have just installed the lastest version of ubuntu and there is no problems with the flash, k you are using a older version of ubuntu, well impressed with gnome interface now used to be a kde user.
To unpack a tar gz you can either do it on a one line or use gunzip to uncompress the gz part of the file to leave the tar part which from memory is to do Tar -xv flash.tar
And thn place the flash library in the plugin directory of the firefox /usr directory
Not sure if that helps

Am leaning towards MJ's opinion re Flash. But I'm on Hardy Heron still Tim so I doubt the update you've got will be relevant for me yet. (Doesn't affect Chrome btw.)
Incidentally, can anyone provide a step by step, easy to follow (for which read fool proof!) way of extracting tar.gz files? I'm not sure I've got it right... (This is the debug file from Adobe.)
Bev.
