flash

[Joe]

This probably isn't your problem, but the flash issues I had (in Ubuntu
8.10) were all related to me running the x86_64 version of Ubuntu (and
consequently Firefox) and the 32-bit version of flash. Once Adobe
released the 64-bit flash (in beta), it's been running like a dream.

The symptoms I had were different though. Basically, I would get an
inactive gray box instead of the flash content. I would usually have to
restart Firefox for flash to come back to life. Like I said, it doesn't
sound like that's your problem, but I thought I'd throw that out there...
