Debian/LXDE/IceWeasel Flash Not Working

I installed synaptic and did the nonfree flash plugins but it did not work. How do i get flash to work?

What version of Iceweasel are you running ?
And have you tried an older version or even a different browser ?

If I'm not mistaken there are still problems with flash and the current version of firefox , iceweasel will probably have the same issue.

open a terminal
as root type

Code:

apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-plugin

Code:

update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun

restart iceweasel

in the browser, type

Do you have the plugin noscript installed?
If yes allow youtube
Look in

just FYI FF 3.0.x did have flash player issues in Linux, 3.5 fixed those issues. You are still running 3.0.x.

remove Iceweasel, install FireFox from mozillia web page and then install your flash players via adobe. things will work. also your add-ons will work as none of the add-ons that are on the mozillia site proper will work with 3.0.x they all require 3.5.x

I use iceweasel 3.0.14
No problems with flash or plugins
There is a different between iceweasel and firefox
The version numbers are not the same

no plugins installed and Javascript is enabled

*edit* i also want to note that when i click on something to save it...iceweasel doesnt actually save unless i right click the link and do save as.

*edit2* I said screw it and downloaded the Adobe's source and got its dependancies and installed the deb. Works now but i still need help with the whole saving thing
