Ubuntu – How to Fix Flickering Flash Videos in Firefox 4 (64-bit)

For long I have been having problem with flickering flash videos in the Firefox 4 beta in Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. Today I found a solution, and I have no longer any reason to use Chrome. :)

It seems that the problem with flickering flash videos only occurs with Adobe Flash Player 10.1. So, by installing the beta 10.3 of Flash Player, the problem is now long gone.

I don’t know how you install the Flash beta in the 32-bit version of Ubuntu. But in the 64-bit version you just need to type these lines in the terminal:

	sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get <a title="See also Ubuntu - How to Install MKVToolNix (Matroska tools) in Linux" href="http://www.whileifblog.com/2012/02/21/ubuntu-how-to-install-mkvtoolnix-matroska-tools-in-linux/">install</a> flashplugin64-installer

I hope this solution works for you.
