Alright,

Here's the thing. I reinstalled firefox from the Synaptic but in vain. Every
time it is being prompted to be intitated from /opt/firefox to which I do
not have permissions to delete (tried out chmod but doesn't work).

Also there's conflict on the libstdc++ as when I try to install it I get the
following error.

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily
unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another
process using it?

I tried following the instructions as per this url:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava

to get my youtube woking on firefox.

Do you reckon I have any solutions at this point of time?

Thanks a lot for your help thus far,

Rajat
