http://askubuntu.com – I can't watch youtube videos in either chromium browser or firefox. I've tried installing a plugin or flash player, but neither seem to work. I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm not real experienced on working on computers. (HowTos)

Who likes to watch stream videos inside the flash videoplayer? Not me.That's how I got rid of it.First of all you have to install the flashblock plugin in your browser (there's a version for chromium and firefox). Other browsers, like xxxterm can be configured to obtain the same result.

Flash not working in Firefox 1 year 21 weeks ago

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my system with gnome shell.

When I try to watch any videos on any video streaming website in Firefox, I am not able to watch. At the same time those videos can be played in Chromium browser.

I have already installed Flash 11 and the Flash plugin for Firefox as well.

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".

I tried to find solution but I just couldn't. Does anyone of you know how to fix this problem? When I try to watch videos on YouTube, Chromium says "couldn't load plugin". There was flashplugin-installer already installed , but I reinstalled it, and Chromium(it did't help).

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.

Have a F11 load running right now on my box and recently, for some reason completely unknown to me, all of the sights (such as YouTube) that embed .flv files have stopped working.

Hello, Ever since I upgraded to firefox 10.0.2, I can't watch videos with youtube (it just shows up as a black screen); when I put noscript on "allow scripts globally," and reload the page, it still doesn't show the videos. But when I go to "add-ons" and disable noscript, I can watch videos. Why would that be? Will I have to stop using noscript to watch videos? thanks

Awesome & youtube 22 weeks 16 hours ago

I run awesome WM on Ubuntu

Recently when I try and watch full screen youtube videos they have been playing in a small letter box - They have not 'full screened'

Vimeo & Dailymotion videos still fullscreen correctly.

This is NOT the problem of a youtube video appearing 'behind' the browser.
