ps300n is still having a problem:
Btw I forgot to mention the videos on the sites mentioned above was working with no problems at some point in the past. Firefox only recently started freezing up like this. I dont remember when exactly it started but I think it must have been about a month or two ago. However in that period of time I am reasonably sure I have not installed anything new that should have an effect on the problem (actually I am pretty sure I have installed nothing new at all). 
So expect the problem must have been introduced by one of the updates that ubuntu tells you to install now then.

Yes I did restart after I installed the new plugin. In fact I restarted after I removed the first plugin to check that no flash video would play (as expected). 
After installing the new plugin I restarted once more and the problem was back to the exact same as with the first plugin. That is most flash videos played as they should, but the videos on certain sites (those mentioned above) caused firefox to freeze. 

I tried copying Lanza's solution just now, but the command 
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Only gave an error message saying something along the lines of "the adobe-flashplugin package has no installation candidate" (translated from danish).

After that I reinstalled the plugin from adobes site and tried running
firefox from a terminal. That however gave no messages in the terminal
at all, and there is no messages in the .xsession-errors file either.

So the problem still seems unsolved. Thank you very much for your
suggestions though :).
