I thought I'd report back that while Flash continues to crash on this |
| 32 |
machine only even with updates to both Firefox & adobe-flash, I tried |
| 33 |
Google Chrome this morning and it works perfectly. I appears the root |
| 34 |
cause of this problem would be Firefox, not Flash or nvidia-drivers, |
| 35 |
and I once again have a solution for watching Flash-based media, at |
| 36 |
least for the short term. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
My thinking at this point is that Google is going to drive a solution |
| 39 |
that keeps YouTube users happy. I doubt long-term they'll let Adobe, a |
| 40 |
much smaller company, control their future... :-) |
