This is everything I did this morning.

First I removed all synaptics installed Flash packages (flashplugin-
nonfree, flash installer, flash sound extras) and the ubuntu restricted
extras.

Second, downloaded a fresh copy of Flash from adobe (.deb package)

Third, followed the instructions here
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/firefox to install the Firefox 3.1 beta
3.  I did have to manually install it using sudo nautilus (sorry I am
not terminal savy) and then running the commands listed

sudo mv /opt/firefox/plugins /opt/firefox/plugins.backup
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins /opt/firefox/plugins
sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

Last, removed firefox 3.1 and directed links back to Ubuntu version:

sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox
sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/bin/firefox
sudo rm -r /opt/firefox

The only difference I am noticing from a user endpoint is that Flash
10.0 r12 is no longer listed as a plugin after doing all this.
Hopefully someone can streamline this process and make it easier to
remove Flash 10.0 r12 because I think that is the source of the problem.
(Flash won't play if 10.0 r12 is disabled when both are installed
implying it is the version being used).
