Flashs on websites are shown without any problem on both Firefox and Chrome. However, flash video players are not working properly; just background color and nothing at all. Interestingly youtube player is an exception.

Go to Mozilla website for plug-in. Install flash-aid or flash-video-replacer.
EDIT: flash-video-replacer is no longer offered
It did not work for me with adobe-flashplugin package. Was resolved when I've install flashplugin-installer instead.
Here is what you need to do: (Im assuming you have flash 11 and firefox 14.0.1):
Download this file : http://www.ziddu.com/download/20225702/libflashplayer.zip.html
Create a folder "plugins" under "/home/YOUR-USER-NAME/.mozilla/firefox/"
Like this: /home/leopard/.mozilla/firefox/plugins
Extract the zip and copy the downloaded "libflashplayer.so" to "/home/leopard/.mozilla/firefox/plugins"
Open nautilus as Admin. Go to "/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin". Delete the "libflashplayer.so" there.
Copy the extracted "libflashplayer.so" there.
Restart firefox.
Open terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T)
sudo nautilus /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
And rename the file to something else(mms.cfg.bo)
Restart Firefox/Chrome and your videos should be working fine.
