Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I run the ubuntu 9.04 with mozilla firefox v 3.0.11
Downloaded Adobe Flash 10 and newest Java updates and I still have problems with Yahoo mail. Specifically, when it's supposed to load your on-line contacts for the chat function. When I switch to available it gets stuck on Loading...and never brings up the on-line contacts.
The loading portion is after I've logged into Yahoo Mail and is under Chat and Mobile Text in the blue box on the left to be as specific as possible. And yes there are contacts on-line, it just doesn't want to allow the chat function. Any ideas?

I have the same problem on my laptop. However, on a different desktop system with all similar FF plug-ins installed, the problem is not seen. There must be something different, but I can't put my fingers on it yet.

i don't know the fix for it, however, i updated everything and it seems to be working now.  I don't know who fixed the problem but I would just suggest making sure you have all yoru updates.  If I can pinpoint which update I'll post it.

I have the same problem on my laptop. However, on a different desktop
system with all similar FF plug-ins installed, the problem is not seen.

I think I may have at least pin point the problem on my systems. On both my desktop and laptop#2, the shockwave flash are both version 10.0 r22, and they both worked. Whereas, my laptop#1, the shockwave flash is version 9, and it doesn't work. I tried updating the shockwave flash to 10.0 r22 on laptop#1, but somehow it's still not working.

If you or anyone knows how to, please let me know. Thanks is advance.

Best Regards,
Trung

Just want to add another note on this. My shockwave flash is already at the latest, but the FF plug-in still says version 9.0 r999. I checked the synaptic package manager, and it also indicated the installed flashplugin-nonfree to be 10.0 r22.

I've un-installed and installed again, but still didn't work. FF still shows the older version of the plug-in.
