at some point in time i came to the conclusion that i need flash to be updated on regular basis, without my personal intervention.

after searching the web, i found this solution:

create the file /etc/cron.daily/flash and make it executable
add the following contents:

test -x /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree && /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree --install --quiet

Thanks, absolut!

Are there more than me that have (intermittent) problems with flash in Iceweasel after latest flash-update?

[michaa7]

flash is per se a long lasting problem. And as long as you don't give us more specific info about why and how your problem is only *intermittent* we consider your problem *not solvable*.

[dibl]

I see no problem with youtube videos, cnn.com, intellicast.com, etc.  No problem in iceweasel, also no problem in chromium-browser.  Possibly the problem is with some specific site(s)?

For example this http://www.airasia.com/ot/en/where-we-fly/route-map.page? is not working for me, the map will only flicker och blink or whatever it is called, sometimes I can see the map but it doesn't work as it shall when I click on the map. XFCE, 64 bit

I suffer since the last flashupdate from really frequent iceweasel-freezes!
Only closing iceweasel helps!

...is not working for me, the map will only flicker och blink or whatever it is called, sometimes I can see the map but it doesn't work as it shall when I click on the map. XFCE, 64 bit

fluxbox (xfce install), 32 bit.

No technical problems apart from the fact that it took near to a minute to load.

Works correctly here, iceweasel and chromium browser, KDE.

The site works fine here, can click on any part of the map

firefox, chromium browser, and kde

In iceweasel

plugins.click_to_playdoubleclick on the setting to toggle it to "false"

If false is already set, leave it, it is not ready for prime-time yet to set it to true, although you may "experiment" with it
