I add contrib & non-free to my sources.list, use a Debian mirror, from the list of
mirrors. I Install 'flashplugin-nonfree' with a visual package manager to see
what choices I have,
Flash just works here, using Mozilla based browses.
I watch Hulu.com, Amazons streaming service, etc. never had a problems with
anything not playing.
I do make sure that there is no other 'flash' on my system, e.g. Gnash stuff. Make
sure that the aternatives system points to the right flash plugin, just in case
some other flash was on the system previously.
