Flash plugin for fIrefox on Jaunty is soooo sloooow
A fresh install of a machine with Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and Firefox 3.0.12 (I know, 3.5 is out...maybe later) anyway....Flash was extremely slow to the point of not being usable at all.
The first site I visited with flash, FF prompted to install missing plugins. Unfortunately
I let it and FF+Flash went slow.
Fixed it by removing all Flash related packages and plugins
Exit Firefox and make sure there is no package manager running.
List the mozilla packages with: dpkg --list *moz*
and remove anything that is named flashplayer-mozilla and swfdec-mozilla
$ sudo dpkg --purge swfdec-mozilla
$ sudo dpkg --purge flashplayer-mozilla
List flash packages with: dpkg --list *flash*
and remove adobe-flashplugin, flashplugin, flashplugin-nonfree, libflashsupport
$ sudo dpkg --purge flashplugin-installer
$ sudo dpkg --purge flashplugin-nonfree
$ sudo dpkg --purge flashplugin-installer
$ sudo dpkg --purge adobe-flashplugin
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
Check if you've got any stray libraries around...delete this one for sure.
$ locate libswfdecmozilla
Install the flash plugin.
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
Then enjoy fast Flash and Firefox.
