    Youtube videos no longer working

    Since the update this morning, which kindly installed a new firefox and flash player, youtube videos no longer work.

    Instead youtube tells me I have an outdated flash player, and prompts me to download a new one from adobe.

    Since youtube was working fine last night, I'm wondering why the update has seemingly installed an older version of the flash player which is not youtube compatable, and how I can get my ability to watch youtube videos back.

    Hi,

    Open firefox and type in the url
    Code:
    about:plugins
    to find the flash plugin you are using.

    It'll be easier to guide you with this info.

    regards,

    The flash plugin in Ubuntu repository is broken. Remove, download .deb file and install.
