Why are you installing the Adobe (evil programmer-imprisoners see http://www.freesklyarov.org/ ) Flashplayer instead of mozilla-plugin-gnash?
I assume since you mention it that you have experience of gnash?
I've had a mixture of successes and failures with it, but the failures as often as not seem to crash FF rather than just fail to render correctly. (By "crash" I mean that they take CPU usage up into the clouds and FF becomes unresponsive.)
That's with Ubuntu/64; maybe its better under 32bit.
At the moment I have to say that in my experience Gnash is alpha-quality. This is probably because (like with other web technologies) most of the content is put out there written "so that it works in the mainstream player/browser" rather than actually following the language correctly so that it works in other implementations. Writing an alternative so that it works (not just so that it meets the specs) is non-trivial.
However, if others are having more success with Gnash then I'll play with it a little more.
