    Thanks to all!

    The problem was that Adobe provides the 32 bit file when you follow
    the menu on their page. There is however a 64 bit tar.gz file
    released 12/08/2009. Once I installed that I could see my crossword
    puzzles again.

    All I know is that when I ran the Omega install on this computer it
    installed 64 bit F-12. If it had been an option I would have most
    likely let it remain 32, it came as a surprise.

    Anyway the trick was to collect the right libflashplayer.so and
    simply copy it into /home/bobg/.mozilla/plugins. I did the same
    thing with the other newly installed F-12 using the 32 bit file and
    it now works too. That's a similar computer but is 32 bit.

    I should have asked yesterday and saved a lot of wasted time and
    effort. Again thanks for the help.

    Bob
