User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141013200257

Steps to reproduce:

I started Firefox after an updat eon Linux Mint 17 to version 33.0


Actual results:

When I went to CNN.com or sometimes YOUTUBE.COM, the video area would remain blank or black. No video played. 


Expected results:

The video should have played. As a workaround I right clicked on the video section of the screen and selected "Reload in Adobe Flash Player" and the video ran fine.

This is expected for now. Shumway's video support is incomplete.
Summary: Shumway not working on Linux Mint 17 → Shumway not playing videos on cnn.com or YouTube on Linux Mint 17

CNN video is a good candidate for high-value SWF content for M3 milestone.
