[gentoo-user] Flash Busted

G'day,

Sorry in advance if I'm posting this to the wrong list.

As of late ( past couple of weeks ), I've been having trouble with flash.
Nothing seems to work. Youtube, google video, lastfm doesn't have the little
player and worst of all I'm missing out on shiny advertisements that go
DING.

All I get is a gray box. I've made no major changes to my system, just the
regular update.

I've tried removing and re-installing netscape flash to no avail.

I'm using the latest Firefox 3 binary available in portage ( r.0.4 ) and I'm
on x86.

Would anyone happen to have any ideas on what I might need to check or how I
might enable further debugging to get to the bottom of this ?

Have you tried a different browser, Epiphany, Opera or Konqueror maybe?

Maybe you should try to disable all addons for Firefox. Some
combinations can have funny side effects.

Another thing you can try is to move your ~/.mozilla directory to, say,
~/.mozilla_bak and restart Firefox so you get a fresh profile.

What version of flash are you using? Here
net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.12.36-r1 (in Opera and SeaMonkey)
black-outs everything. Didn't yet do so, but I'd suggest downgrading
to 9.0.151.0. I'm currently on Gnash, but it is still well alpha.

Thanks folks. I've tried everything suggested in both responses other than
starting with a fresh profile which I've now done with success. It would
still be nice to know what was specifically causing it but I'm a happy
camper none the less.

Thanks again.
