    Hi, Flash videos and games were working perfectly in 11.12.1, but in 12.06 it happens that when I play flash games, the game becomes very choppy and lags a lot. There are often also white rectangular boxes which show up for a split second inside the game. Also sometimes Firefox will hang too. This wasn't a problem in 11.12.1. I wish these packages were more thoroughly tested before being pushed out. Problems like this are too frustrating. How do I resolve this problem? Do I need to downgrade the flash package? Can anyone tell me what version was used in 11.12.1 (I don't have it installed anymore, since I installed 12.06.)??

    You can use Google Chrome, it has the newest version of Abode Flash Player integrated into the Chrome browser.. Flash player will stay up to date with Chrome.

    I use this link to update my flash.

    sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-* --purge  < ~ ~ ~ Didn't work
    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree       < ~ ~ ~ Did work

    If anyone has a better solution, I'm all ears.

    Also, I use Firefox.

    I knew that, but I thought, even though it doesn't show an update on the Firefox browser, that by doing the manual installs, it still did updates that just weren't reported on the system.  If that's wrong, is there another reputable alternative to Firefox and Chrome?  I'm trying to stay away from Google as much as possible.
