Do you still suffer from this issue in the release version of Maverick?

No. It was fixed with the new installer. I think part of the problem was
failure to load open source flash support plugins in firefox. This worked
fine in the final release.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug was fixed in ubuntu 11.10.
