Clicking on Flash content doesn't always work

[Tom Inglis]

Binary package hint: firefox

Clicking on links in Flash content does not always work in Firefox 3.6 in Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 (latest packages as at 17th April), with Flash 10 (r45).

Sometimes it does function and sometimes not, it consistently fails on the BBC website for example. I can provide some more specific examples if required?

This is also a problem in the latest versions of Chrome and Opera, but I don't think these are supported by Ubuntu at this time.
