Flashplayer screwing up in firefox


I am having trouble with Flashplayer 10.1 d51 screwing up the colors on a lot of videos, youtube,etc. It is really strange and hard to describe. it makes the video almost like it has a pink curtain over the video and only able to see outlines of the video subject matter. When the scene changes, it while sort of clear and then spread again. I can boot into Ubuntu 9.10 and can play the video just fine.

It doesn't do it on all videos. But, it does it quite often. Plus, I have another Slack 13 system with S3 Virge that plays the same videos just fine.

Slackware 13
Nvidia drivers
Nvidia GeForece 4 MX

Download flash player*.tar.gz

After that, do an about:plugins and confirm that Firefox is actually using that Flash player. I've installed GNOME distributions that installed their own versions of Flash.

Well , Flash 10.1 is a Beta version, so you should probably check the Adobe Labs forums here http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/flashplayer10/ to see if anyone has the same problem and perhaps issue a bug report here http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/

But first check if you are actually running the latest version of 10.1 here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html The latest appears to be flashplayer10_1_p2_linux_121709.tar.gz

You might also consider running the latest stable version of Flash 10 as suggested above, unless you need to be running 10.1

Replacing 10.1d51 with 10.0r42 seems to fix the problem.
Thanks to all.
