I checked out this reference too. The iceape settings are as
recommended except that one setting regarding navigation does not exist
in the iceape preferences. The reference also notes that flash problems
are discussed in a separate article Video_or_audio_does_not_play. This
page is blank.
I believe the flash plugin is the problem. I started using the Google
Chrome browser because it included the latest version of flash.
Checking the plugins in iceape I found three versions of Shockwave Flash
installed, each in a different directory:
dragon:~# ll /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 125816 Sep 29 13:50 /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
dragon:~# ll /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 275072 Sep 12 2010 /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
dragon:~# ll /home/tom/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 10606256 Mar 11 2011 /home/tom/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
The September 29 date is consistent with the start of iceape browser
becoming very sluggish with messages about problems reading scripts. I
run dist-upgrade from time to time so an update may have been run at
that time.
