[7.10] youtube says a flash player is too old

[Tomas Cassidy]

Binary package hint: gnash

When trying to play a video in youtube, the website says that the installed flash player is too old. "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " I have the latest versions of gnash and mozilla-plugin-gnash installed from the repositories.

I have noscript installed, but I have set it to allow both youtube.com and ytimg.com.

gnash:
  Installed: 0.8.1-0ubuntu3
