[Bug 861815] [NEW] flash plugin for mozilla not playing videos, Google Crhome is playing videos

 

Public bug reported:

The flash videos from all sites like metacafe..etc are not playing.  The
browser loads a black screen in place of the video, no error as such is
reported. I installed the Adobe player again, also the flash plugin for
Mozilla, but non of that seems to work. When i try to update my plugins,
mozilla mentions that my Flash plugin is outdated. Even after I update
it from the Adobe website, it gives me the same message. Flash seems to
work fine on Google Chrome.
