Yes, one of the upgrades, I'm not sure which or whether it was a Firefox or other, corrected the problem. One of the messages said this bug report would expire in 45 days, so I just thought I'd let it. Sorry if this caused any inconvenience.

Status in “firefox-3.0” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 I get the following message: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player." when I try to play YouTube videos and a "Install Adobe Flash Player" message when I try to play Colbert Report videos even though Javascript IS enabled in Firefox, and I installed FlashPlayer. I was able to play videos a few weeks ago. I installed VLC some time ago and Thunderbird (which also installed SeaMonkey).Thinking that they may have triggered this problem I removed them and reinstalled Firefox and Flashplayer with no change in the symptoms.
