[gentoo-user] What are you using to display Flash in Firefox?

As the subject says: What are you using to display Flash in Firefox?

Reason for my question is quite simple, today I am using
www-plugins/adobe-flash which works well for simple .swf files (where
gnash & lightspark fails), but I have problems displaying a lot of
Videos on Facebook & YouTube.
95% of the time I get the following message when I try to watch a Video
on FB or YT:
"The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again."
For YT it is really not that a big problem as I can download the Videos
using a FF AddOn - but this does not work with FB.

I am using the "default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde" profile.

Any suggestions...

Regards,

Hello

I'm using https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin, a wrapper around
the PPAPI version bundled in chrome (I'm not sure but I think the package
www-plugis/chrome-binary-plugins has it).

It works really well nowadays, it used to crash a lot in the past.

Highly recommended.

Great, thanks for the tip - this works great.
I can now watch Videos without problem at FB and YT.

net-misc/youtube-dl lists facebook among the things it can handle,
though I've never used it for fb videos.  It works well with the
sites on which I've used it, including yt.  (Occasionally, yt changes
something which breaks things, but there's always a youtube-dl update
within a day or two with a fix.)
