Public bug reported:
Running Firefox 3.0.6 (Cannonical 1.0) on a newly installed Ubuntu
8.10, with full upgrade and update.
When trying to play a movie in Youtube there is a pause then the whole of the
Firefox, client display, greys over. Having had no luck I tried various
non-free Flash Plugins Firstly 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' via
command line, when that didn't work I uninstalled it and then tried the
Macromedia one, via 'Add/Remove Programs' in Ubuntu, but none work. Also
Firefox does not work with movies on www.stuff.tv and www.megawhat.tv
On these two sites however, Firefox does not freeze but the movies just don't
play.
