Description Marek Kozlowski 2009-09-20 13:43:11 UTC

No problem with 2.0.0.19 nor 3.5.3 versions. Unfortunately, the 3.0.14 when connected to for example youtube displays message that the browser requires flash player (that is present: www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.32.18). Installation of it from the browser fails. Manual installation doesn't help. Re-emerging adobe-flash doesn't help. 
The same problem on two computers with GNOME and XFCE. Both are up-to-date.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox
2. connect to youtube
3. try to watch any video

Can you run firefox from a terminal and see if it gives you any helpful hints ?
