User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0 Build ID: 20160606114227 Steps to reproduce: 1. Install any of addons like: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/youtube-flash-video-player/ or https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/youtube-flash-player/ and switch video playing to Flash (instead of default HTML5) 2. Install Flash plugin 32 bit from http://www.filewatcher.com/m/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz.6742944-0.html 3. Go to any webpage with a flash movie (like YouTube) and play the movie Actual results: A black box appears instead of video content. When clicking right mouse button on the black box, it give 2 context menu items: 1) Movie not loaded... (greyed) 2) About Flash Player 11.2.202.626 --- informations... (when click on it, it leads to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ) So it seems that Flash is active but for some reason is not displaying video content. Expected results: Video content should appear instead of a black box. Some more info: The Flash plugin is installed and visible in Firefox. I don't know if that is a Firefox's bug or Flash's bug or Linux's bug or whatever's. I also tried on Firefox 46 32bit and Flash does not work too. I tried on a fresh Firefox profile. I know Linux is a **** as Desktop ( I repeat - A ****, yeeee I may repeat it 100 times and that still will not be enough) , but I switched from Windows to Linux only because I play Dungeon Keeper 2 which is fantastic game, but which has some trouble running on Windows, and it runs on Linux without such problem. (BTW ironically (to the Flash issue), the problem with the game on Windows is that when the game runs, the game works but half of the screen is... black.) Then I switched from Firefox 47 64bit to 32bit only because I need Java plugin working (as I still need to use some Java-plugin based webpage), but in Firefox 32bit Flash does not work anymore. When I run Firefox 47 64bit, Flash works again, but Java does not work. I need both Java + Flash. Some more technical info: Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0 (32bit) OS: Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (64bit) Plugin: from "about:plugins": Shockwave Flash (32bit) Plik: libflashplayer.so Ścieżka: /usr/share/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386/libflashplayer.so Wersja: 11.2.202.626 Stan: Włączony Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 Typ MIME Opis Rozszerzenia application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl If You need more info, let me know.

I also tried 2 alternative Flash plugins: 1) http://pipelight.net/cms/plugin-flash.html 2) http://www.pcworld.com/article/2993902/browsers/how-to-get-the-latest-version-of-flash-on-firefox-for-linux-after-adobes-abandonment.html But both of them even does not appear in Firefox 32bit plugin section.

After I switched from bugzilla tab to www_cda_pl_corrupted_box tab, the www_cda_pl_corrupted_box tab (from comment 7) is back to the first one (comment 6) again. Maybe the broken-flash issue is a graphic driver/drawing related.

Mistakely I put (in 1st comment) a link to a wrong (older) version of Flash plugin 11.0 r1 from 24.09.2011. But I meant the current version 11.2 r202 from 27.05.2016, I don't remember the download link, you have to ask uncle Google. Anyway I tried the older version 11.0 r1 too and it also does not work.

Does this still happen if you *don't* install addons like youtube-flash-video-player or youtube-flash-player? In particular in a generic Flash-using page such as https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ is the Flash content black? Can you please attach your about:support data to this bug? This is clearly not a problem in general, so it has to be something more specific about your hardware or software setup.

1) Yes, even on a fresh profile with no add-ons installed and no settings changed. 2) No, it is corrupted instead, I attach the screenshoot. 3) OK. I paste it from the fresh profile with no add-ons installed and no settings changed.

Or while minimizing and then maxmizing Firefox, or while covering (by a some other window) and then uncovering Firefox.

Unfortunately, we don't have the engineering bandwidth to prioritize this specific problem. We are working on a more generic solution to Flash issues but that may be several months out. Here are some things you can try in the meantime: in about:config create a pref "plugins.force.wmode" with the value "opaque". Make sure your GTK is completely up to date. If you or somebody figures out what is going on, I'd be happy to look through the explanation and that might be enough to create a simple patch. I will of course accept patches also, but I know that's not reasonable to expect, especially given the complexity of the code interactions here.

I am no longer involved in fixing the issue, because I completely removed Linux from my PC and switched back to Windows.
