This is getting tangled. Let me run over the facts again.

Firefox 3.6.10. Lucid.

I have no flashplayer working in Firefox. It works in Opera I discovered.

Synaptic only shows flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound when searching for flashplayer. It is currently not installed.

flashplugin-installer shows in the list of residual configs. It was uninstalled when I tried to install flashplayer direct from Adobe.

There is no other flashplayer showing in Synaptic, yet it works in Opera. :confused:

I have followed a myriad of install Flashplayer howtos, I still get no response, a claim that flashplayer is not installed or Upgrade to Flash Player 10 for improved playback performance. Upgrade Now (http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/) or More Info (http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=95402).

I have also run a series of cleans and purges to remove old flashplayers - I dont think I found any, but I ran out of ideas.

Most of these direct to Adobe.

Am I the only one who hates Flashplayer? ](*,)

Type

Code:
about:plugins
in Firefox address bar. Do you see any Flash plugin listed there? Which one?


EDIT: Also it will be a good idea to start a new thread regarding Flash.

No plugins are installed

hmmm, that doesn't look right...:sad:
