try doing an uninstall from the command line with the "--purge" option
- this will delete every trace of previous installations from your
machine. Then try to install from the adobe website. My guess (just a
guess) is that:

- you installed the version from the repos
- this version just tries to download a "real" installer from the adobe site
- the download or install from adobe fails in some way
- but the repos wrapper doesn't catch this
- so, as far as your system knows, flash is installed (the wrapper
package is installed), but it's not really installed (since the real
installer never ran correctly)

hence a situation where dpkg/apt/synaptic/etc tell you that flash is
installed, but it isn't...

I think it only supports firefox, although you might try installing
the opera browser (worth a shot)
