I've been having similar problems.  Inspired by this note, I ran 
interactive aptitude and purged every Debian package I could find on my 
system that had anything to do with Flash. 

Now it works.  Not sure where it found a Flash plugin after all that 
purging.  It may be one I installed as a user, in my home directory tree 
somewhere, sometime, instead of as system manager in the public space.
