[Bug 316494] [NEW] updated plugins have broken video viewing

[kevinwiley]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I booted up Ubuntu and executed firefox as root, then went to lurk
around youtube. When I went to open a video, I got the usual "time to
update all your plugins" message and did so. Now every streaming video I
come across is just a giant gray start button. When I click this giant
gray start button nothing happens. Occasionally The video will load with
poor quality, streaming speed, and for some reason the volume on the
video viewer itself will sporadically scale up and down. I have no idea
what is causing this bug. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox version
3.0.5
