Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
Attempted to play video at http://www.youtube.com/tmvDave and several different videos at news.bbc.co.uk. The YouTube video gets as far as a window for playing the video but I get no video controls and the video does not start. BBC reports that I have an incorrect flash player version and should visit the Adobe software site to get the correct version. These same videos play with no problems under Opera on the same system. This could be a problem with either FF or the flash plug-in. That flash behaves as expected under Opera seems to indicate a FF problem. I have successfully played flash video under FF but that was several updates ago.
