[Bug 1806252] [NEW] flash installed through Muon has 'Context3D not available' error at pogo.com

[Scott]

Public bug reported:

tried to play chess at pogo.com; was told to install flash; installed
'flashplugin-installer' from Muon Package Manager (Discover freezes
every time I try to use it) after closing firefox web browser; opened
firefox went back to pogo.com now it says "Context3D not available!
Possible reasons: wrong wmode or missing device support." when I enter
the chess room: the frames of the right username list and chat load, but
nothing else loads with that error message displayed instead in the
center of the flash frame (i suppose it's called). help.ubuntu.com
indicates this is a bug, because what Ubuntu purports to do -- install
flash from the Muon Package Manager -- does not successfully install
flash. I will try to uninstall this package from the Muon Package
Manager and instead follow the Adobe Flash download link from pogo.com
and try a manual install. (My hypothesis is that the Muon package is
outdated.)
