I had similar problems (miniclip games not working) which were not
solved
until I followed the advice given to me on this very list: install from
the
backports! You may want to check out my tale of woe (on this very list
a month or so ago) to see if you can relate to that -- I had some
superfluous files installed and what not ... but, anyhow -- installing
from the backports was the way to go for me. Do not, under any
circumstances, ever, use the Adobe linux installer from the Adobe
website, it will just mess up your Debian installation.
Good luck!
