The problem is that you´re using a very old version of Flash. In fact, you´re using very old version of everything, as far as I can see.
Ubuntu 12.10 - means you´re using Ubuntu from October 2012. Firefox 29 - the one I´m using is 34.
Well, I think you should really think about updating your Ubuntu, so you´ll also have all the other softwares updated, since you´re using old repositories, with old versions of software.
