On my workstation i run FF3 and I noticed sound issues with the libflash hoarding dev/audio. One upgrade of FF3 made gnash the preferred flash player. It works just ok as a plug, but nice stand-alone. So i use switched to using the nonfree libflash plug instead on FF3 and tried both on the site. Only libflash10 and FF3 renders the doc/page OK.
Rion on FF3.07: #keep gnash for S-n-G sudo aptitude purge gnash # sudo apt-get remove --purge gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash sudo apt-get remove --purge mozilla-plugin-gnash Download the latest flash player from Adobe Labs and extract it: wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz sudo cp install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ on FF3.07 with Shockwave Flash File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48 http://myfairpoint.net/ blank page with Shockwave Flash File name: libflashplayer10.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 http://myfairpoint.net/ redirects to http://myfairpoint.net/fairpoint/portal/index.aspx and renders fine cmd:telnet myfairpoint.net 80 Trying 67.63.58.35...
