Cannot view list of tables while playing Zynga Poker on Firefox due to bug in flash plugin 10.0.32.18-1

[pratik910]

Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin

When playing Zynga Texas Hold'em Poker on Facebook,
The list of tables canot be viewed, neither in general tables not in Sit-n-Go tables.
The interface is very slow. I had been facing this problem also in Hardy.
If I downgrade the flash plaer plugin to version 9, I can view these lists and can play much better.

Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04

adobe-flashplugin : version 10.0.32.18-1

firefox : version 3.0.13

It seems there are some dupes of this bug:
Bug #446486
Bug #450419
Bug #479312

This bug is probably Ubuntu-specific. There is no problem in displaying list of tables
in Zynga Texas Hold'em Poker on Facebook viewed by:

1. default browser (Fennec?) on Maemo Linux on Nokia N900 (tested),
2. Firefox on OpenSuSE - as claimed at note https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/479312/comments/2

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, according to this report, you are not using the most recent version of this package for your Ubuntu release. Please upgrade to the most recent version (10.0.42.34) and let us know if you are still having this issue. Thanks in advance.

Also, could you try a few other browsers on Ubuntu, like Epiphany and Chromium?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

I found 3 upstream bugs so I added them to the description as Launchpad can't watch JIRA bugtrackers yet. Marking this as Triaged pending upstream action.

Chromium and Epiphany does not work either - the same problem as in Firefox

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

I am using 10.0.42.34 - still problems..

[Ben (klinerdraken)]

I have the latest version of flash (10.0 r42) installed and I can not see the list of tables using firefox or chromium.

Ok guys, I have tried to use seamonkey for texas holdem on facebook. It works, has zynga live, tables can be seen, challenge area opens fine. mostly it is playable. Although screen starts to blink after notifications start to pop up. So I can confirm it is a firefox and google-chrome browsers bug, they lack something seamonkey has.

I solved this bug by simply selecting the Shockwave Flash plugin to the version 9.0 r999 in the Firefox Tools menu/Add-ons/Plugins. Disabling the 2 other flash versions I have (10.1 r53 and 10.1 r999) and enabling the older version 9.0 r999.

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

I have not version 9.0 of Flash listed there (I only have 10.0.* one listed)
Where can I get 9.0 one? I am running Jaunty and only 10.* version is available in repo.

i have the same problem with firefox 3.6.3 with shockwave flash 10.1.r53 (ubuntu lucis lynx with up-to-date system). i can play but it's so slow and can not control the game. i have only one flash player installed.

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

Seems to be fixed already in Lucid Lynx with current Flash and Firefox 3.6.3

[Brian Thomason (brian-thomason)]

Is this issue still present for any of you with the latest Flash builds?

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

No, latest firefox + flash on Lucid Works ok - I do not see this problem anymore.

[Thomas Hotz (thotz-deactivatedaccount)]

Ok seems to be fixed, I will reopen it if someone tells me it still doesn't work. Please tell us your Ubuntu/ Flash version. Thank you!
