[Bug-gnash] [Bug 202391] Re: Cannot view AVM2 flash enabled pages

[mhotze]

Because of the fallback issues, people might be looking for a solution
here to play all Flash content in Ubuntu Firefox (I did):

1) Open Ubuntu Software Center (or Synaptic) , search for ¨Flash¨
2) Remove all Flash related software (Gnash SWF Viewer, Lightspark, Adobe Flash 
Plugin, etc)
3) Only install ¨Adobe Flash Plugin¨
4) Restart Firefox

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens Firefox and goes to
  http://edition.cnn.com/video/ it plays the video.

  4) What happens instead is it does not. Notice if one secondary clicks
  the flash window -> click File -> Properties it states in Stage
  Properties Root VM Version AVM2 (unsupported)

  This is a known enhancement request upstream ->
