I had the same symptoms if I want to see some of Panoramio images on Google 
Earth. Click on blue ball opened small window and showed image, but clicking 
on that image opened Panoramio web page without images, and click on link to 
see original size opened window with message that image can't be presented 
because it contains errors.

The cure that worked always was to add line:
  export BROWSER=konqueror
in .bashrc, and log out and back in. 

The other option was to run the same line before calling googleearth from 
command line or 
   export BROWSER=firefox
and then call googleearth. 


BTW, I updated firefox right now, and jpeg image was present, but no flash 
video. Mozilla has good support for plugins on:
  http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/

I have 64 bit Firefox and it needs nspluginwrapper that is included in above 
repository, but not installed by default. After installing it 
  about:plugins
will show all installed plugins.
