[Tfug] Debian Firefox Youtube Slow

[Chris Hill]

Fyi there are dev releases of the flash player:

If you are running Beryl/Compiz you may have what's known as the 'click 
bug' (inability to click on the flash) but the newest releases have some 
cool features: OpenGL acceleration, multicore support, and more. Flash 
dev on linux isn't perfect but its coming along. Its much better than it 
used to be.

Peace
