Firefox 3 Beta + JW FLV Media Player = Error

[Benjamin "beNi" Flesch]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

JW FLV MEDIA PLAYER 3.16 (http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player) is broken in Firefox 3 Beta 5 delivered with Hardy Heron.

This renders many websites using this flash applet completely useless, e.g. tagesschau.de or http://www.roonk.de/315-lustiges-video-hillary-clinton-i-m-fucking-obama.html .

Hey John thanks for your replies!

Before updating to Hardy, I used the nonfree Flash Plugin with my old FF 2.

The Update Removed the nonfree flash plugin and installed mozilla-plugin-gnash instead, and because of Gnash not being able to display the JW FLV Media Player correctly my own website was broken - It took me some time to figure that out.

Now I removed mozilla-plugin-gnash and reinstalled the nonfree flash plugin and everything works again, I just was shocked because I didn't think the Update would change my configuration.

Regards, Benjamin

Hardy update removed nonfree Adobe Flash Plugin and added mozilla-plugin-gnash instead which can't handle JW FLV Media Player.
