3) Thank you for reading this. What was expected to happen in Maverick Meerkat is when one fully updates, installs:
+ Flashblock plugin through Firefox (which does not populate in Synaptic Package Manager or Ubuntu Software Center, and shows in Firefox -> Add Ons)
+ mozilla-
+ gstreamer0.
then goes to YouTube: http://
4) What happened instead is the Firefox window grey screened and remained so after 10 minutes and then I created this bug. I was just giving the technology a test drive, no big deal. If questions exist, please ask.

Quick follow-up, disabled Flashblock via primary clicking Tools -> Add Ons -> Extensions, then went to above website, did not grey screen and YouTube video window stated "An Error occurred, please try again later."
