Bug description:
  Using Firefox 11.0 and the Adobe's Shockwave Flash 11.1.202.228 in youtube. Youtube and all flash sites shows a black box instead of the player. It works fine on Google Chrome.
  i'm reinstall this package and nothing happend.

  im using Ubuntu lucid 10.04.3 Adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.228-0lucid1
  adobe-flash-properties-gtk works fine.

  This package is not stable.
  -
  This is apparently caused by the use of SSE2 instructions in new versions of adobe flash binaries, but only on older CPU's not implementing SSE2. There is an upstream bug reported for this: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3161034

  Note that this code is binary only outside of Adobe.

  Where lernid, and apparently epiphany-browser use webkit they don't
  catch SIGILL. Both crash  and close with the message "Illegal
  Instruction" sent to the console.
