On my centos 5.7 system, using Firefox 10.1, suddenly flash videos have stopped working, like, today. they worked yesterday. Now all I get is an error message that the flash plugin has crashed, reload page and try again.
strangely, my centos-6 machine using the same firefox and the same flash plugin works fine.
Clues?
Hi there,
I had a similar issue to this a while back on a Fedora box, I found out it was not flash plugin or firefox causing the issue, it turned out that it was the proprietary Nvidia driver that I was using. So if you are using Nvidia driver, it might be worth looking into. My issue was resolved by updating the driver.
Your issue may be different, but I thought I would mention it just in case :-).
Yes, I'm using the nvidia driver bundle from Nvidia's web site. but then I ALWAYS have been (this machine is something like 3 years old). However, I did update it recently, I'll have to see if I can figure out exactly when that was (less than a week...), and maybe reinstall the one I had previously.
thanks for the hint!
