After upgrading to Firefox 12.0, on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, Youtube prompts for a plugin install, but then says there are none, so what might make Firefox work aga?

After upgrading to Firefox 12.0, on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, viewing of videos, such as Youtube stopped working. Clicking on the "Install Plugin" offered instead, gives the response "No suitable plugins were found." Clicking on the "Find more ... manual plugin install" link garners only the response "We're sorry, but we can't find what you're looking for.", from Mozilla.org.

Is there a simple work-around for this upgrade failure? (Or at least some information on whether a plugin for Linux is available somewhere?)

You need Flash for playing videos on youtube. See the following articles:

For more info on Firefox plugins, see this article -> Use plugins to play audio, video, games and more

Check and tell if its working.

Grateful thanks! By revealing the deeply hidden secret:

$ sudo mv Downloads/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

your first link allowed this to be fixed in less than ten seconds, once I had the .so.

It also revealed another secret: It is KNOWN that the GUI crap that Mozilla puts up to offer plugin installation Does Not Work on Linux. A lot of bother could be avoided if Mozilla had the intellligence to detect that it is running on Linux, and just spat out a link to the manual instructions, rather than offer what it cannot deliver. (Though why it should be impossibly hard for it to download a file to the Mozilla plugins directory is a mystery beyond my imagining.)

Thanks again for showing how to bypass this Linux incompatibility built into Mozilla.

The notification email asks me to mark this as SOLVED. I'll continue looking for a button to click to that effect, but I haven't found one yet.
