White blocks in flash player for certain sites

Asked by Lovasi Peter

After I upgraded to 11.04 I noticed that on some sites the flash video player is displayed improperly.
I noticed it on the following site: http://www.indavideo.hu Other sites seem to work.
I noticed it on Firefox. Chromium is ok.
On Win7 it is OK. I tried the Live version of a 32 bit system, that was also OK.
If I install the "Square" player version from here, it also works fine.

All in all, I have a workaround, but it is still a bug related to Firefox. Is it known? Should I report it?

Thanks

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf

sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin64-installer

Will give you 64bit flash

Can you help with this problem?
