Ubuntu – Flash not working in Firefox

firefoxflash

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.

Best Answer

I had a similar issue before. Try to remove flash first by running the following command in a terminal:

 sudo apt-get purge adobe-flashplugin

Then try to reinstall flash with this command:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

That worked for me.
