[tclug-list] html5 on 3.13.etc kernel

Wed Jan 7 04:30:53 CST 2015

I am trying to play 'old music videos' - via - 'youtube' on Linux-Mint17-Mate with kernel -3.14.13-031413-generic-under-firefox 34.0' Currently I have the 11.2.202.425 flash installed. The HTML5 Google player makes Firefox 34.0' crash after 2-3 songs if that. I think it may be something to do with Cisco systems video Codec. Sorry to ask such a dumb question. Thank you for your time. 

0. problem--> I am trying to play 'all kinds of' music videos via youtube on my linuxmint computer.

You have to state what you are trying to do before anyone can help you.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, or how this relates to the rest of this email chain.

Well, look closely -if you have time- and you can see firefox put in /opt now on any current Mint. Thanks for helping me by the way. I kindof learned to really respect you even though I am 'slow'.

I'm running Version: 11.2.202.406 of flash, so not much older.

What version of flash are you running over there? I attached a screenshot of the installed plugins currently on my system. So I should run an older version --> like which version then? I could manually install a version via terminal I suppose. Thanks for helping as I am sure your aware of my struggles trying to figure any of this stuff out.

You can also click on the warning and authorize flash to run either once, or always.

Do you need to authorize firefox to use the outdated flash plugin, as previously mentioned?

You know I just took a little break from it. I did a hard reboot logged in and opened Opera went to YouTube and the music-videos work fine. It looks as is Firefox and not Opera is having the issue. I could swear though that Opera was not working with the music - videos earlier this morning. Could I ask for your advice and take on what you would recommend I do? Thanks for your help.
