[Bug 665147] [NEW] Unable to view flash video in Firefox or Chrome since installing Ubuntu Desktop 10.10

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Had Firefox installed previous to upgrade from 9.10 (laptop) and viewed
video of multiple formats regularly on-line.  Upgraded to 10.10
(Desktop) and now cannot view video in browser.   Have un-installed and
re-installed the flash video plugin within Firefox.  Have tried creating
new profile in Firefox (V. 3.6.11), have installed Chrome as an
alternative browser (never used it before) in hopes it would work - no
success.  Have un-installed and re-installed Firefox - no success.  Am
becoming desperate.  Am considering re-commissioning old Microsoft PC.
AM BECOMING DESPERATE!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are example sites that failed:

(The final one is the most colorful.  The first site simply shows a black rectangle.  The second, a blank white space.  In the third site I get a black rectangle with two smaller red squares and some interesting symbols within it, as well as a spinning dial as if buffering.  This will continue to run ad nauseum.

Would appreciate any insights, guidance and so forth.  Willing to
install some other application if it will get me over this hurdle.


Best Regards,
Gary Beach
