Try installing Google-Chrome, it uses a newer version of flash, flash version 11.2 don't work on some sites so I've found.

Hi...

Welcome to the forum Smile

Adobe has stopped supporting standalone versions of Flash Player for Linux since 11.2, except for security and bug fixes. The only way to get a newer release of Flash Player is to install a recent copy of Google Chrome, which includes the "Pepper" version of Flash.

Please see here. Wink

There are open source versions of flash, Gnash and Lightspark but I don't think they work as well as Adobe's.

Regards...
