I didn't have the flashplugin-nonfree installed (and don't think I ever did) but I did have the swfdec package installed. I wanted better flash support so I installed gnash and restarted iceweasel. It was still using swfdec and I couldn't select gnash in the application preferences. When I found this bug report I checked that I had a symlink /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so -> /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so and found that the other symlink was /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so -> /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so so I deleted /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so and made a new symlink /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so -> /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so Upon restarting iceweasel I now have no flash support whatsoever so I changed back to swfdec. Any suggestions appreciated, I'm willing to test. Greetings and thanks, Pete
