Firefox 17.0.1 and flash-plugin

[ElderDryas]

Works here (in x86_64); also works in Vimprobable.

Maybe the website was busy?

I'm using 32 bit, but no it's not because the site is busy (I can load it at the same time in FF). And it's all video pages all the time on CNN.com. Midori in Xubuntu exhibits the same behavior.

Strange then it *doesn't* here. The architecture seems a plausible culprit. I'll test that link next time I go to the Other Side.

By the way, is the problem universal on CNN? I ask because by the time I test it, that particular story may have gone the way of all old news.

EDIT Now I read your post more carefully, I see you say it is universal.

ElderDryas, try changing the identification of Midori, from the preferences window from automatic to something else. You could try all options. Once you make a change, close midori and start it again.

Anyone else see this, or is this another case of ElderDryas messing up his system, somehow...again?

I can confirm this problem on my laptop using 14.0 32-bit. Try several different identification modes without any success.

ElderDryas, try changing the identification of Midori....

As laprjns said, changing the ID does not solve the problem, for me at least.

It's not happening to me in 32 bits either.

For KDE I would recommend rekonq as a web browser and we should probably have that in our KDE edition.

cnn.com works fine here in midori, so it must be something else.

[ElderDryas]

...so it must be something else.

OK, FireFox it is

That CNN video plays will with me, however, when I open Midori I get the following error message:

icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib/java/jre/bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

Yes /usr/lib/java/jre/bin/ is empty. It seems not to affect the performance of Midori.
