I think you should check if iceape actually uses the correct plugin (and
not some outdated file that was left behind during an earlier attempt to

Here is how to do that (for iceweasel, I hope it also works for iceape):
Ah-ha! Found the difference. The listing for Shockwave Flash is
identical to that shown below except for the entry for the File Name:
For the system that doen't play videos: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
For the system that plays videos: libflashplayer.so
I deleted all the npwrapper entries in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and
added a symbolic link to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so.
Now the iceape browser plays youtube videos. All OK.
iceape is apparently different from iceweasel - I cannot find any
about:config. In preferences/helper applications there is a box "Always
use the Netscape Plug-In Finder Service (PFS) to get plugins" This box
has always been checked. In the top menu bar the pull down from Help
includes an item About Plug-ins.
