Try typing 'about:plugins' (without the quotes) into Firefox, in the same place you type a web address. Search through the listed plugins to see if there's more than one to handle Flash. I've got gnash showing up, and it has problems with a lot of the BBC videos (I'm probably going to remove it and install the Adobe player instead). If you have problems looking through the list, copy it into pastebin (http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/) and reply here with the URL it gives you.
