It will solve the problem of displaying Flash Player videos in the
browser, what makes you think it won't?

You think so? You mave many options for getting Flash Player videos but
only *one* option for a 100% replacement. If you can live with a "cutted"
solution, then install any plugin to download Flash Player videos and
watch them offline.

The only problem I see is that you simply don't want to install Adobe
*Flash* Player to view *Flash* videos, dunno why. If you don't like the
container avoid flash based videos or look for a workaround. Anyway, if
neither "gecko-mediaplayer" nor "mozilla-plugin-vlc" worked for you, you
can help the upstream projects to fix the errors.
