Bugmenot's solution worked perfectly for my system. Mozilla/5.0 (X11;
U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.3
(Ubuntu-feisty)
Quote:
had the same problem with debian. my solution:
uninstall any current flash package (flashplugin-nonfree or
flashplayer-mozilla)
get latest version (with MPEG4-AVC support) from adobe-labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html
i got the rpm and converted to deb (sudo alien
flashplayer9_install_i386_082207.rpm)
installed it with "dpkg -i flash-plugin_9.0.60.184-1_i386.deb"
sudo /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup
If you are a little confused follow this:
goto http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html
right-click Download Plugin for Linux x86 (RPM, 2.88 MB) and save as
to Desktop
close browser
