Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
this continues to happen quite often. I can sometimes play youtube videos, but lately (more often than not), they just won't play - especially embedded flash videos from youtube. For instance, this website:
www.rovio.
is a great example. I press play, but nothing happens.

This appears to be an issue with Firefox and the adobe flash player. Chromium in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) installed with Synaptic Package Manager works like a champ.
