I typed "Y" and lost firefox icon, I typed firefox in terminal and it suggested to install firefox

then I installed firefox but flashplugin had to be removed.

so there is not way to install one without removing the other, Gnash is working really badly on youtube crash very often, on other sites is not working at all: flash buttons or pop up windows do not work, any sugestion?

Seems to be fixed now with the release of the Aurora 13

[Greg Whiteley (greg-whiteley)]

As this is marked invalid as "fixed in Aurora 13" I've logged a new bug covering the bug in firefox 12 beta (firefox-next)

[Juan-e (globalpegasus)]

The bug is back again: I just have the same problem with Aurora: firefox (13.0~a2~hg20120411r90716-0ubuntu1~umd2~natty) and flashplugin-installer (11.2.202.228ubuntu0.11.04.1). After I looked for a real solution, I had to try to restore the Flash Plugin without packages, following the official instructions https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-flash . I hope that this bug will have a real fix.
