Flash on Firefox 3.5 (My not so clever workaround)

[Errol Sapir]

I owe this forum a reply (especially the people who tried to help me) as 
to the state of my computer after requesting aid to install flash on 
firefox 3.5 in Kubuntu 64 bit.
After spending nearly a week trying to solve the problem, based on 
suggestions made here, I had no success. I then uninstalled and 
re-installed Firefox and still couldn't install flash. I then made a 
radical decision - to downgrade (if that is the correct word) to Kubuntu 
32 bit. I read somewhere that the main advantage to 64 bit Linux is for 
computers with more than 4giga ram. I don't know if this is so or not 
but I only have 2 giga ram so I decided to "downgrade". I then decided 
that if I was formatting my computer anyway (home is on a separate 
drive) I would then go "all the way" and install Karmic (32bit). This is 
what I have done and meanwhile all is working ok (including flash) event 
though Karmic is "only" alfa 5.
Not an ideal solution to the problem I posed but I can now work with 
Firefox 3.5 with flash.
