Problem Ubuntu 9.04 Firefox 3.0.8 and Youtube

[mmicoe]

Hello:
My computer 2 days ago:
Ubuntu 8.10 (Studio) Firefox 3.0.X and Youtube everything working perfectly.

Now:
Ubuntu 9.04 Firefox 3.0.8 and I have a problem in youtube with the install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz --> youtube works blows when window maximizes.
I have tested with install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz but the mozilla firefox browser force quit and the browser disappears.

Any idea ow can I solve the problem ?

Thanks
Mauro

I assume you are using an intel graphics card?

I'm going to guess that it is a conflict between video acceleration and compiz. Try turning off desktop effects and see if that fixes it. If it does and you don't care about desktop effects then that is your fix. If you can't live without desktop effects you could try turning off video acceleration in flash (right click on a flash app and click properties). Another option that might fix this is to upgrade to the 185.19 beta nvidia driver. I've been using it for a couple of weeks with no issues.

I disabled desktop effects and has been fixed.
A very simple but effective solution.
It is strange that with Ubuntu 8.10 and compiz worked well with Ubuntu 9.04 and it is not.
I'm using Ubuntu for over 3 years and I'm very happy for this operating system.

Thank you very much Bakone Jars

Some guys already found the solution. Among them, in case you are reading this from a Linux x86 based putter:

(For a 64b system, simply uninstall: sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla
And then reopen Firefox, let the system find and suggest to install the default player and voilá. It will work beautifully.)
