General info that will not affect this bug:
update your kernel :)

Thanks for the info:
this happens on both versions of firefox?
Do you see this bug on other browsers? example epiphany-webkit epiphany-gecko or any other browsers that you know of? try both epiphany packages please

[userdce (userdce)]

not working with epiphany also

[userdce (userdce)]

updated the kernel too but of no avail

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

does flash properly show up in about:plugins?

[userdce (userdce)]

Yes it is working for youtube and other flash driven sites

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

for me the video plays. if youtube etc. work its maybe a connectivity issue. I think you didnt check if you have mozilla-plugin-gnash installed. if thats the case remove that too.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

also ensure that you dont have a any libflashplayer in your profile like: find $HOME/.mozilla/ | grep libflashpl

remove those flashplayer instances if found
