Firefox doesn't work with flash ubuntu
At first Firefox wouldn't work with flash videos. Now whenever I try to go to YouTube, it crashes. Whenever I try to view a video on break.com, it crashes. I have no idea how to get flash working in FF. It works in Opera, but not Firefox.
I am currently running the latest version of Ubuntu.

Adobe flash + firefox + youtbue worked great for me a few days ago, on ubunutu jaunty.
Then upgraded to firefox 3.6.7 last night, and youtube no longer works, just get a black rectangle; right-click does not bring up the usual adobe menus. The plugins dialog shows adobe flash 10.1.53 and the 'prefered applications' dialog shows adobe flash for application/x-swf & etc. mimetypes.

You didn't post a plugins list.
Which Flash version do you have? Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
It has started working now. I installed the Download Helper extension.
It works in opera and chrome but not in firefox. Some days ago it was fine but after some updates it doesnt care to work now.
Plugin: shockwave flash.
I installed adobe flash player and now it works
