In Synaptic, I searched for “Flash” and came up with the offender: flashplugin-nonfree.  I simply elected to try adobe-flashplugin instead.  Simply look or search for this package and click “Mark for Installation”.  Synaptic should automatically try to install adobe-flashplugin and remove flashplugin-nonfree.  Once the operation has completed, restart Firefox and try it out!
