And again: update flash

[vilde]

Not working here. I removed all my extensions, adblock+ and element hiding but that didn't help

If you test it with another browser (chromium-browser, konqueror, whatever), you might learn whether the problem is limited to iceweasel, or is bigger than that.

Tested with chromium and there it works with no problem. Purged iceweasel and installed again, same problem

Edit: Checked with another computer, same problem. The main is a Thinkpad T400 and the other checked is a Lenovo Ideapad z360. Both are 64 bit xfce.

which version of IW?

I am here with a newer one from http://mozilla.debian.net/
Maybe give it a try.

I have 17.0.6, installed from debian experimental 21.0, same problem.

Also checked one more computer here, Thinkpad Edge 64 bit xfce same problem

I don't know whether it makes any difference, but I have installed the esr (extended support release) version (you may choose at http://mozilla.debian.net/ under "version)

Did you know, when you purge a package, the config files in your home were *not* removed! If you then reinstall this or a new package, you have the same config as before. So you always should make sure to remove or save away the config file/folders in your home if you want try a new install.
Maybe you could test the current install, but save away your home/IW folder.

You could try a live CD and install flash as a test, too.

When I try esr it shows just to install iceweasel without changing repo, so I think esr is standard in sid?

Here it looks like this:

# apt-cache policy iceweasel

I edited my above posting (config in home), please read.

I did a new installation on the T400 on the second hd. With a new installed 64 bit xfce with the newest iceweasel and newest flashplugin it works perfect. After a complete d-u it fails again. So my conclusion so far is that it is something else than Iceweasel and flash is causing the problem alone.

Edited: Now I have also tried to start with some older kernels but that didn't make any difference.

Maybe the part of this topic related to my problem shall be moved from upgrade-warnings, so we are not bothering others in this important place? That's up to the moderators to decide.

It's worth a bug report. And if you don't find the culprit it's still IW not working.

[vilde]

Just tried with the new release, Firestarter, installed Iceweasel and flasplugin-nonfree on live cd and I have the same problem there.

Edited: Also purged flashplugin and tried with browser-plugun-gnash, same problem....

Maybe ariasia isn't the best site to test with. Today it does not work here, neither with IW, nor with Opera.

[vilde]

I have the same problems on some other sites, but this problems disappears if I disable adblocker. It bothers me, because the problem looks the same but on air asia it's not the adblock.

Edited: I checked around a little more, seems like it's only Air Asia so far that have this problem not related to adblock-plugin. So maybe we shall leave this for a while and say it's a Air Asia problem? They are nice and cheap to fly with though

Tell *them* about the problem if you like this airline.
