This is a repost from Daniel Jonssons blog post. However, just thought it deserved some hits on other systems than Ubuntu – since it works fine on other distros. Problem that you might have encountered are unresponsive controls on embedded flash videos. Maybe not on all sites but at some sites (say no more).
To get rid of this, the best thing to do is to update the Flash driver for you 64-bit system. You do this by adding “ppa:sevenmachines/flash” to your repositories. Refreshing / checking for updates. You will then see a flash plugin, which you install. Problem solved. If you are on an Ubuntu system you might just open a terminal and do:
1 sudo apt-get update
2 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
3 sudo apt-get update
4 sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
And you should be all set!
