What browser do the YT vids work on? All browsers?

Seems as if the YT videos only play in Chromium, as when I opened the same vid in Firefox, it just shows a blank box where the vid should be.Originally Posted by msammels

Here's the problem: flashplayer-plugin isn't maintained by Adobe anymore. Chromium has it's own player implemented. Stick with Chromium, and your problem should disappear.
Dark-Roasted but Half-Baked
Correction: The Linux Flash plugin is not under active development any longer. It will be receiving security updates for 5 years, which qualifies as maintenance.

But, even with Chromium, some websites with flash fail to work properly. For example, on one of these sites, I instantly get the message "The following plugin has crashed: Shockwave Flash."
For example, I get this error message when I go to my Gmail inbox.

Well, I just realized that the only reason YT is working is because the videos are rendered with HTML 5, so I am pretty sure Flash is not working AT ALL.
Come on guys, I need some solutions here!

The solution is to use and adobe flash plugin under release 11.2.
I recommend to install it through the lovinglinux addon for firefox flash aid, selecting the custom installation.
Previously you have to download the old flash plugin from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/...-versions.html I am using the 10.3.183.20 release. You have to select the linux .tar.gz
A very good thread to solve and understand the problem is : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953796&page=3
There are well explained solutions to fix flash, the only problem is you will run flash in older releases so it can be security problems

It's hit-or-miss for me in Firefox, but I get nothing in Chrome. Has anyone tried Opera?
