comment Only “Vulnerable” Flash Player version works
Well - I have Lubuntu 12.04 on a netbook with Firefox 19.0 & that works OK for Streetview & for YouTube. So that answers my question "should it work?" The flash setup there is Flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.270ubuntu12.04.1 & libflashplayer.so is in /usr/lib/flashplayer-installer with links via /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins & /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplayer. I tried again to recreate that setup on my troublesome 12.10 Lubuntu, by removing existing libflashplayer.so files & installing flashplugin-installer via Synapt, but that takes me back to no Streetview images etc.

I have tried various other methods, like Flash-Aid 2.2.3 (installed but currently disabled), installing flashplugin-installer normally, & following Adobe links, but with rubbish results. I am happy to try any other (preferably GUI) suggestions. To repeat my question - should I expect to be able to see YouTube videos & Streetview images in 12.10? I expect so, but nobody actually said so... Thanks

I am using 32 bit. The r102 version which works (but is vulnerable) was obtained by copy-pasting from my 10.04LTS back-up system last year. I obtained r202.243 & r202.280 versions by temporarily installing Flashplugin-installer via Synaptic, then copy-pasting the libflashplayer.so file from /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer to a "safe" folder, then uninstalling flashplugin-installer, then copy-pasting the .so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. To get r202.243, I had to force the version. So now I have 3 different .so files I can copy/paste into ../mozilla plugins as I like.

comment How do I get Picasa 3.9 to play .MOV files?
Thanks, Bruno Pereira, for that rapid reply! I downloaded K-Lite_Codec_Pack_840_Basic.exe & installed (via the Wine Installer) into /home/me/.wine/drive_c/Program Files. So the 'K-Lite Codec Pack' folder is sitting in 'Program Files' folder alongside the 'Google' folder which contains the 'Picasa 3' folder. I guess that matches what you say: "inside the same bottle that contains your Picasa install" - or does it? But so far Picasa does not play the files... Further suggestions would be welcome! Thanks!
