Bug Description

After most recent update firefox will not play any flash/swf video and instead says video unavailable.
The Install Missing Plugins button appears and only installs adobe flash but not GNash SWF plugin.
Even after restart still will not. Google Chrome / Opera / Chromium & XBMC still retain the ability to play.

You don't have any flash plugin installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, so this isn't a Firefox problem
