Same here. Scripts have to be allowed though, if you have NoScript
installed.

I thought that I actually had the latest, but apparently not.

Has anyone else had this problem and what is the optimal fix, because I
seem to remember that there was a clash between versions I used to have.

I've noticed with both Iceweasel 2 and 3 that sometimes i "lose"
flash. I have flashplayer-nonfree and the only solution i found so far
is to close all Iceweasel instances and run "dpkg-reconfigure
iceweasel".

I have the latest version of Lenny's flashplayer-mozilla installed and,
following Nuno's suggestion, closed IW and ran dpkg-reconfigure
iceweasel. This still hasn't worked however.


I wonder if this conflicts with having gone to the flash site and
downloaded the flash-player 9 installer, and installed it using dpkg?

I needed to uninstall the earlier version of flashplayer, which I have
now done, and then ran the flashplayer-installer from the Adobe website.
Iceweasel is currently running Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124, and I no longer
get the error message when going to the NG website link.


All's well, I think.

Thanks for the help/ comments.

well, you still aren't running the debian version, but instead running
the adobe installed version. There's nothing inherently wrong with
that except that your package manager doesn't have control of the
situation anymore, so you may run into trouble later.

I would recommend that you try completely removing the adobe version
and reinstalling the debian version. It is likely, I think, that
trying to run two versions simultaneously was the problem.

In my opinion, it is preferable to run the debian packages instead of
the adobe install.

Personally, I prefer Adobe's Flash 10 beta. It seems to have smoother
playback and some report lower cpu usage.
