[Bug 192888] Re: firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport

[Alfredo Matos]

4 months into the hardy releasy and six into this bug, and flash is
still not working. I've seen some possible fixes in this bugreport, but
no definitive solutions.
  I have seen many new users change back to Windows or to other distros
because of this bug. Sorry guys, but this really needs fixing... IMHO it
should be marked as *Critical*. It's sad to see newly converted users
leaving linux and ubuntu because they can't see youtube.
  I don't really understand the status of the affected packages, since I
see several fix released, but it's still not working. It would be great
if someone could explain this, because it's a bit confusing (especially
for someone trying to learn its ways around proper bug managing)

  But i have two questions from an average user's perspective:

  - Is there at least a recommended workaround for this ? If there is,
it deserves front and center attention on the bug report and on the wiki
at least (possibly also in the forums: "How to Fix your crashing Flash")

  - Is there any way to contribute to this ? Package testing ? Further
bug information ? Anything to speed this up ? (I don't think Ubuntu can
afford 4 more months of this, and we should all pitch in.)

  Thanks.
