jenny:~$ apt-cache policy gnash flashplayer-mozilla 
flashplayer-mozilla:

and on the webiste from adobe flash it says:

You have version 11,2,202,285 installed

and then what do i do?

I think I removed flagh plugin-nonfree at this point.

I have reinstalled the flash again and it still doesn't work. Sorry for being completely clueless.

At this point I am as clueless as you. Did you try it with a fresh Firefox removing your profile? Did Flash ever worked, did it work with another browser? Do you have a Flash blocker installed.

Hello you 2,

open a terminal, try:

rm -rf ~/.adobe

and reopen FF. Maybe some dirty config file laying around

(Nothing bad will happen)

it didn't do anything. I reopened firefox again and still nothing. The funny thing is before I tried to install flashplugin-nonfree, everything was working, but now even after I remove flashplugin, I still can't watch any youtube videos.

so can you guys tell me how I can go back to watch youtube videos? I dont want the flashplugin anymore.

And, I was redirected to this page when I tried to watch youtube

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p330

so apparently they blocked the add on that I have. I tried update it using the command line in the first page but it still doesn't work.

oh hey guys, I disabled shockwave on my add on and I installed gnash and it now work! Should I do anything else?

should I try to delete gnash and see if it still works?

Seems like there is some bad interaction between the flash player from adobe and the plugin-nonfree.
Fastest way to resolve this is probably a re-install, followed by an install from the adobe site but no flash-plugin-nonfree, unless someone comes up with a better solution.

I see you are still using statler, based on Debian squeeze.
Perhaps this is an opportunity to install the new stable - waldorf - based on Debian wheezy.

Sorry for not being able to offer you a better solution,

Just saw your latest post.

Your call.

ivanovnegro · 2013-05-27 16:25:31

If you still want to watch Youtube, you do not need necessarily Flash, you can watch it via HTML5, here:

http://www.youtube.com/html5

Of course not all videos will play but most of them.

Edit: Have you enabled click to play maybe? You can disable it:

about:config

from the address bar in Firefox, then type:

plugins.click_to_play

double click and it will switch to false.

^ Oh thanks for this one, Ivan. How I hated "click to play". Notice the simple past

notchuck · 2013-06-01 06:21:56

Thank you for this. The Mint replacement one was really annoying, because they call it "Firefox" but went and made some pretty persistent changes to it...

KrunchTime · 2013-08-08 06:26:41

I motion that this thread be stickied, especially since ivanovnegro is taking the time to keep it updated. Thanks for the great how-to, ivanovnegro.

KrunchTime · 2013-08-08 07:32:40

Woo hoo! Happily running Firefox v22 under Waldorf with backports enabled. Some things that I did that weren't covered in your how-to:

01) You may need to manually delete /etc/iceweasel/profile. sudo aptitude purge iceweasel didn't remove that folder because it wasn't empty.

02) I went ahead and deleted the ~/.mozilla folder as well prior to unpacking Firefox, since it probably contained things specific to Iceweasel.

I kept mine without any issues. My mozilla profile is older than my Debian install.

Mine dates back to Win 98.

*BUMP*

I found this site that shows how to install FF...would this work on Waldorf 11?

^ No, why should you bother with some kind of PPAs, this works better:

wagmic1 · 2013-12-04 22:38:40

Hello the solution i proposed in this topic work fine for me, i just have a sync account in case of something bad happen and on every new version of FF i just unpack in the firefox folder and replace all the file.

Hey, you came back. Good to have you back.

KrunchTime · 2014-01-24 23:51:56

Hah! Now I can give back to this wonderful thread. The link that ivanovnegro provides for the 64-bit version of Firefox no longer works. Here's the latest working link to 64-bit Firefox downloads (choose your preferred language):

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org … ux-x86_64/

ivanovnegro · 2014-01-25 00:08:38

^ Works here or am I missing something. Tried it.

KrunchTime · 2014-01-25 00:14:47

I'm getting "404 Not Found" error. Are you sure you're trying the 64-bit link and not the 32-bit link? The issue is with the 64-bit link.

Edit: Hmmm...that's weird. I was getting the "404 Not Found" error in the Chrome and Firefox browsers. I just tried the link in Midori and it worked fine.

Edit 2: Just got the same error in the Opera browser. Maybe Mozilla is having server issues?

Edit 3: ...and got the same error in the QupZilla browser.

Works here with Firefox/Chromium.

flaneur · 2014-01-25 12:22:03

Just to say that the Stylish extension for Firefox has been updated to 1.4.1 and that some styles maybe affected: http://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/ … ox-1-4-1b1

Now that Australis seems more likely to land in version 29, I wonder if there's any interest in collecting hacks/tweaks. Just to illustrate, here's a question about rearranging a bit of the UI that is no longer possible via the "Customize" pane: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic … &t=2799365
