By the way I was going to ask the difference between packages
adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-nonfree.
Well I bet you don't guess how one can see Koala Brothers site on
Linux. No, No, No, don't think that I installed ie4linux.
What you should do is:
1. uninstall both flashplugin-nonfree and adobe-flashplugin
2- install mozilla-plugin-gnash (Yes its licence is free as in freedom!)
And site can be seen fine.
Also, I've tried enable and disabling plugins from
Tools->Add-ons->Plugins, but it didn't work. Flash_switcher extension
wasn't useful either.
Perhaps, will be the day when gnash replace completely to adobe
non-free flash plugin.
Greets.
