Thanks for replies Daryl, Clifford, and Jim. But its probably time I
give up on installing Flash. I downloaded the correct file, copied it
to ~/.mozilla/plugins, deleted all other instances of the flashplugin
but nothing worked. I also tried adding debian-multimedia to my
sources.list but then apt-get threw this error at me:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
flashplayer-mozilla: Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0) but 1.12.4-3
is to be installed
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7
is to be installed
Depends: libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.5) but
2.2.1-5+etch3 is to be installed
Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0) but 2.8.20-7
is to be installed
Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.20.3) but 1.14.8-5
is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I wonder where I am making that stupid mistake!?
Can you post your sources.list? It almost seems that the multimedia
repository gets the flash-package compiled for lenny or sid, and you
have etch. That would be an explanation.
