Jaunty beta: Flashblock doesn't block flash and totally disallows 'embed' flash content

[Popolon]

Binary package hint: flashblock

The actual flashblock in ubuntu-9.04 alpha (and with everyday update) doesn't block flash video from youtube and even doesn't allow to see any 'embed' video from youtube on other site.

Tested on x86_64 platform with flashplugin nonfree and with official linux 64bit beta adobe flash plugin.

disable flashblock, enable embeded flash to work again

An example page where flash doesn't work with ubuntu version of flashblock activated:

Workaround :
* remove ubuntu flashblock 1.3.11a official package
* install flashblock from firefox plugin catalog (tested with flashblock 1.5.8 and linux 64bit version of flash player)

But suppose this works too with ubuntu official 32bit flash + wrapper

Same situation in Jaunty beta.

This bug is specifically about Flashblock in Jaunty Beta. Please do not mark it as duplicate of either of the following which are for other Ubuntu versions:

 Hardy (8.04.2 LTS): Bug #239151
 Intrepid (8.10): Bug #309390

Well, I've asked in #ubuntu-bugs and colleagues in QA, the proper way to handle this bug is to actually make it a duplicate of the one in Hardy and nominate it for fixing in both Intrepid and Jaunty, not keep separate open bugs. The "Nominate for release" feature in Landscape takes care of this.

Sorry about the confusion, I'll now clean this up.

So, marking as duplicate of Bug #239151 and nominating that one for fixing in Januty.
