Flash not working across various sites on Firefox

Post by zmfc »

Linux Mint 14 Nadia Cinnamon 32 bit with the codecs and multimedia support, just installed yesterday. I went to go watch a video on youtube and when the page loads, there is simply nothing where the video should be. Tried on projectfree.tv, and there was just a black box where the video should have been. Tried reinstalling the adobe flash plugin and there was no change. Running inxi -Fc 0 yields

Using Maya here and I went to that site and am watching a movie now. Wow the site is awsome! (Legal :?: ) I have ABP installed and Java disabled and nothing else - do you have any addons installed that you can try disabled? Any other great sites like that I can check for you...wink.

I've added nothing to the browser at all. Tried restarting, no change.
