At first Firefox wouldn't work with flash videos. Now whenever I try to go to YouTube, it crashes. Whenever I try to view a video on break.com, it crashes. I have no idea how to get flash working in FF. It works in Opera, but not Firefox.

I am currently running the latest version of Ubuntu.

Adobe flash + firefox + youtbue worked great for me a few days ago, on ubunutu jaunty.

Then upgraded to firefox 3.6.7 last night, and youtube no longer works, just get a black rectangle; right-click does not bring up the usual adobe menus. The plugins dialog shows adobe flash 10.1.53 and the 'prefered applications' dialog shows adobe flash for application/x-swf & etc. mimetypes.

You didn't post a plugins list.

Which Flash version do you have? Tools > Add-ons > Plugins

It has started working now. I installed the Download Helper extension.
