[buug] Firefox video problem (attn Nathan)

[Pewter Bot]

At last night's BUUG meeting, Nathan mentioned a problem w/Linux
Firefox suddenly ceasing to run videos. This was also an issue for
Windoze users. So I did a little web searching to come up with some
sites that may answer the Linux side of Firefox:

The two solutions to the Flash/Firefox bug.

One is to use Internet Explorer to view pages with Flash video.
Unfortunately, this option may be anathema to some Firefox users. So
the other option that works is to roll back the Adobe Flash Player
plugin for Firefox from version 9 to the last iteration of version 8
(8r42). If you also have IE installed, you can keep it using the
latest version of the Flash plugin for IE (see below).
