Comment 217 for bug 967091

I had that problem on one of my computers where I installed the CUDA development system. The CUDA installs its own libraries and the libvdpau_nvidia.so library was not getting used!

I used the following command to remove the "offensive" vdpau library:

   sudo rm /usr/lib/libvdpau.so /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.304.54 /usr/lib/libvdpau_trace.so

Then I restarted my browser and it worked like a charm.

You should have another library named:

   /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so

If not, then you probably will have problems...

FYI, I had CUDA installed with:

cuda_5.0.35_linux_64_ubuntu11.10-1.run

When running 12.04 and it worked fine. When I upgraded to 13.04 I decided to remove CUDA for the time being and still had that color problem.

I found the solution (a mention of that library) from this Adobe bug report:
