For a new installation of Ubuntu 64bit, there are issues with Flash. If you install via Adobe, you get the 64bit version, which can't view most videos on Hulu. So you have to get the 32bit version with the nswrapper. That stuff can be found in Synaptic. Once you do it, you have to run:
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
in a terminal to get Firefox to find the plugin.
Now you can watch Hulu and all other Flash (with some glitchiness). However, embedded youtube and Flash videos won't work. To get that to work, open a terminal and do the following:
WORKAROUND 3: Open a terminal and enter:
gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
Then add: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before the last line of text
