Hi Lisi,
Not sure if this will work for you, but I've got firefox (the "real thing") from this repository (pasting the apt sources line):
deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main
If I remember correctly, (may just as well be dreaming) firefox downloaded the flash plugin by itsself?
You could give it a try if nothing else helps out.
Good luck!
