Adobe Flash gone screwy...

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Ok, I go to watch a YouTube video, and it says that I need the Shockwave Flash plugin. No sweat. I go to Adobe and download the YUM version. Everything is up to date. I go to watch my YouTube video, it says I still don't have my plugin, which I go to reinstall, thinking that maybe it didn't install. But it's installed. No matter how many times I restarted Firefox, I was only able to play a different video once on this Feodra install. If anyone can help, it would be nice about now :) Thanks! (HowTos)

Stories similar to Adobe Flash gone screwy...

Hi, I just installed Fedora 16 and am using Firefox.

When I go youtube, at the top of the first page it says "You need to upgrade your adobe flash player to watch this video".

When I installed 12.04 I also added Ubuntu-restricted-extras. I decided to try accessing flash content in Firefox without the Adobe plugin, and I wanted to experiment with streaming video directly with VLC, so I removed flashplugin-installer.

FC17 flash plugin problem 22 weeks 3 days ago

Loaded a new x32 machine with FC17 XFCE. I went through the adobe flash plugin install procedure. All that went without incident. Used all the latest updates for FC17 and flash.

I try youtube, the videos seem to load but never start to play. Just a black square. Now, go to the plug in control panel DISABLE flash. Go back to the page re-load and the video plays just fine.

Though the Software center is showing that "Adobe Flash Plugin" is installed in my computer, which is a Compaq Presario c700 running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, yet some websites like www.youtube.com is prompting me to download Adobe Flash Plugin to view online streaming. PS: I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Plugin

Hello,

I have noticed when I go to ufc.com using Chrome or Firefox the shockwave flash player does not work. I believe the issue is with my plugins. I entered my plugin page and I noticed I had two adobe flash plugins that where enabled.

Adobe Flash Player in 11.2 3 years 21 weeks ago

Hello

Been having problems with flash, and I really need some help.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall in yast no luck. uninistalled again.

I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash 10 rpm direct from adobe. I shut down firefox and then restarted...went to youtube.... no luck. I get the annoying error:

In a fresh installed or upgraded Ubuntu, first thing to do is install flash plugin for web browser to enjoy flash videos. As a beginner, we use Ubuntu Software Center to search and install applications. In Ubuntu 11.10, the Ubuntu Software Center shows two: Adobe Flash Plugin 10 and Adobe Flash Plugin. I selected Adobe Flash Plugin 10.

The title says it all, Flash Aid has not helped the situation & Google has not thrown up any recent similarities.

I am running Xubuntu LTS.

I've been trying to watch webm videos on youtube lately with only partial success. Some of them play alright, while others request Adobe Flash. For example, this video requests flash, and this one plays without.
