Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I'm using firefox-3.0 (output from apt-cache policy: Installed: 3.0.5
+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1) on Ubuntu 8.10 and almost no flash videos
work for me the way they're supposed to. Videos that aren't on YouTube
don't work, and videos that _are_ on YouTube make Firefox freeze up for
a few minutes and then crash. Some videos have worked on YouTube but
it's only around 30%, and I never watch videos on YouTube anymore
because having my Firefox crash is just too much trouble for a 30%
chance of a video.
I've always had a problem with flash on my computer, ever since Hardy-
and I find it hard to recommend that people should use Ubuntu if they
can't watch flash. I really love Ubuntu, and that's why I hate myself
when I realize that I've stopped doing things on Ubuntu that I used to
do on Windows just because it doesn't work in Ubuntu.
Flash is an important factor in computers nowadays and this must work
for every computer!
