    Strange problem when I try to view any of the videos on www.cnet.com the flash player opens a gray box without a picture while you can hear the sound. Now if I navigate away from the page and then hit the back button the flash player plays normally. Firefox 3.0 is the browser and the system is up to date with all the updates. Although this is not a big deal it's annoying non the less.

    PS I have removed and reinstalled flash with out success.

    Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

    In case any one has the same problem this solved it:

    sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
