    Spoke too soon. Apparently I need Flash, but I don't know which. My choice is...

    .deb
    tar.gz
    .rpm
    APT
    YUM

    How do I know which one to get?

    You're looking for the ".deb" (Ubuntu always uses ".deb" to install software)

    The best bet is to go into "applications" then "Ubuntu Software Center"
    Then search for "adobe flash plug-in"
    install that and restart the browser.

    That's the easy way to get flash.

    Glad everything is OK, remember you don't need Norton on your 'buntu desktop. Seriously I have win XP, Win 7 and Ubuntu on my desktop, guess which is the main OS?

    Use the 'Ubuntu Software Centre'
    and search for 'Restricted extras'
    this includes flash and audio codecs, some fonts and other stuff which is widely used but is Proprietary.

    have fun
