Cannot watch web videos in Mozilla 2.0.0.8 (solved)

[john d. herron]

Jonathan,
As you can see from my last message (below), I already have the plugin for
FFX Flash 9 r48 (libflashplayer.so) installed.
What I have done now is removed all the other (earlier) Shockwave Flash 
plugins,
which apparently were interfering with the operation of libflashplayer.so,
and... now, as if by magic, I can enjoy videos in Mozilla. Fantastic!
Thank you very much for your help!

Yes, John. That would be my guess. You might try installing the latest 
version
of the flash plugin for FFX Flash 9 r48. You can grab the tarball here:

Just untar it and put the plugin, called libflashplayer.so where you usually
put your plugins for FFx. See if it works then.
Cheers,
Jonathan
