[I asked this question at Mozilla's site, but the only response so far is to get the latest Flash version - which is not exactly what anyone here wants to hear...]
I have Lubuntu 12.04 and Gnash. Up until yesterday (when Upgrade
Manager uploaded the latest Firefox to version 24) all was well.
NOW, the page loads, I click on the large "Play" symbol superimposed
over the video image, and all I get thereafter is the circling dots
loading symbol.
Gnash gets far enough that it creates the "videoplayback__" file for the
video, but it is typically only a few kb large (and it cannot be
played, naturally).
Is this happening to anyone else?
Should I (can I?) downgrade to Firefox 23?
Ideas, anyone?
