flashplayer in firefox inoperable, cant listen to web radio

[btimb]

Binary package hint: firefox

It appears that when i try to download adobe flash player 9, it wont get downloaded, same with ubuntus gnash flash player (i think that is what it is called), because of that I can not listen to my web radio, www.pandora.com. also have the same problem with my yahoo mail which i read from firefox browser. yahoo has an instant msging service with their email, and i can not access it, when i try to access the im in yahoo i get a pop up that says i need to download adobe flash player 9, but firefox wont accept it.

i recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu os keeping windows as a second os, just in case. In windows I still have my full functioning firefox browser, so it is unfortunate but when i want to listen to my web radio, i have to go into my windows os, yukkkkk!!!!!!!!

other than that video feeds seem to work well, most come with sound and it is working.

THANK YOU EDUARDO

I would not call it a crash. Anytime I try to go to pandora.com the page
loads but it is blocked from playing music or showing anything on the page..
It acts as if the ad block is preventing pandora from opening, but i get a
message that says i do not have a flash player. I downloaded gnash, but that
seems not to work also. I am not sure exactly why this is happening. Also,
I do not have any volume control. I have volume, but not from my email
accounts. The volume i do have is set to one level only, i can not adjust it

I have downloaded may programs that are responsible for audio and volume
control, but they have done nothing. And the ghash flash player seems not to
be working either. So I really do not know. I tried to download Adobe flash
9, but could not accomplish that either.

I like ubuntu, i want to keep the system I also have windows, i am not happy
to have to use windows to listen to music from the web, but until i can get
ubuntu 100percent, then i have no choice.

Thanks for the info. This issue isn't a firefox one, but is due to add
block. whitelist the site the flashfilm is pulling content from should
help.
