I have no explanations for the first and third experiences but can
reproduce the second one if I don't do what is described below.

I've just did a completely new installation of flashplugin-nonfree on a
machine which had never seen it. Your eternally turning white circle is
what I get. My feeling is that this has something to do with protected

Installing hal, hal-info, libhal1 and libhal1-storage cures it for me

For some reason which I cannot remember I got the debs from a Ubuntu
PPA. Maybe the Wheezy ones didn't work for me.
