This is all in iceweasel. I have not tried the install you suggested. It
appears that flashplugin-nonfree is version 9.0.31.0.1, which is older than
flashplayer-mozilla (9.0.48.0-0.2). I did try the latest version at the
Adobe download site (9.0.48.0), but that didn't help.
I just noticed something interesting. If I go to
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download
under Windows, I see that they are offering version 10.2.0.023. If I go from
Linux, they have 9.0.48.0. I think v10 has been around for a few months, but
the problem is less than a month old. But it may be that the sites I can't
bring up have moved to a format that v9 can't play. On the other hand, I'm
not hearing that other Etch users are having problems (at youtube, for
example).
