Getting flash to work iceweasel is very easy, get the source code for 
flash like you did, untarball it and then do this.  cd to ~/.mozilla - 
mkdir plugins - and then copy file "libflashplayer.so" to 
~/.mozilla/plugins/.

Have not mucked with Epiphany much as I dumped it because of its 
requirement to have gnome-network-manager to configure it for using a 
proxy when I use fluxbox.
