When I updated to 9.10, Flash stopped working properly. Essentially, it wouldn't accept any clicks. I could press spacebar to pause YouTube videos, but anything involving the mouse wouldn't work. "On hover" functions seem to work (the play/pause button glows when I hover the cursor over it), but the "on release" functions do nothing.

I tried using the fix from this website--

but it didn't do anything at all. Then I tried this script--

But now Firefox crashes with a segfault every time flash is used.

Are there any actual, working fixes to this problem? I've been researching for awhile and I can only find contradicting solutions, none of which work.

Or, alternatively, is there a way I can downgrade back to 9.04 as easily as I upgraded to 9.10?

Ok, I'm going to have to bump this because I really need to resolve it. I'm downloading an iso of Jaunty now, but I'd hate to have to do a clean install. If anybody has any idea how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. It's the only major problem I'm having with Karmic; all other problems are fairly minor and tolerable.

A "Clean install" is the way to go. Naturally you'll backup your personal files / email etc. before you do this.

Quite a lot of people are unhappy with 9.10, one of the reasons I'm still with 8.04(LTS) - it runs, it works, it doesn't crash, I'm happy.

Not unless you took a backup before you "updated to 9.10"

Yeah, I'm starting to think that's what I need to do. I'm trying to avoid joining the hoards of people that complain about Jaunty incessantly, but I would like it to actually work. Unfortunately, I forgot to backup my system before updating, and didn't realize it until halfway through the update. So, I'm going to try to backup and reinstall this weekend. Thanks.

Edit: Check that, I'm trying to avoid joining the hoards of people that complain about Karmic incessantly. To my knowledge, there's not many complaints about Jaunty. At least not from me.
