Hello all

In Iceape and other browsers (e.g. Opera) I can watch embedded
(streaming?) videos on-line. In Iceweasel/ Swiftfox I cannot.
Insterad I get a variation on this message: "Note: Either you do not
have Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer or your Flash
Version is outdated. You need Flash Player in order to view this
item. Download Flash Player now.

I have double-checked and I have the latest flashplugin-nonfree
installed and seems to be accessible to the other browsers, so why
doesn't IW "see" the plugin and use it as well? In my
~.mozilla/plugins/ directory the library libflashplayer.so is
installed and executable and as far as I can tell, the plugins are
registered with IW as seen by doing about:plugins in the address
bar.

A search using Google only keeps showing me the same darn resolution
- install the nonfree plugin and check that it is in the
about:plugins.

Are you using any sort of Javascript blocker? Either browser controls
or plugins such as NoScript?

In my experience, javascript must be enabled to allow Flash plugins to
work.
