Have been handed a load of competition entries from the wife to do online, Shell www.fishforprizes.co.nz and www.matuaexploreregions.co.nz, neither firefox or chromium, will let be go onto the competion page.

Do you think this is a flash or linux, or their website problems?

Have updated recently to 10.10 64 bit, maybe i need to enable or disable something to get the sites working properly?

Any ideas much appreciated;)

I would recommend you using Ubuntu 10.10 32bit if you don't have any more than 4gb of ram on your system. Flash is not installed by default since it's a bit of a new thing for 64bit Linux, but it's simple to install.

First, grab Flash from Here

Then just follow the instructions on this video to install it for your browser.

I seem to have the 10.1999,0. version of flash, and am having problems removing it. What would be the best way of completely removing it?
