For anyone else who's been having trouble with Flash performing slowly and video being judddery in Linux, here's what may help you.  It's sure helped me.  Flash is now much better - it's not perfect, but more acceptable.  I'm surprised Adobe hasn't discovered this. 

Follow the instructions via this link: http://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/flash-optimization.html

Hope that helps anyone with Flash player problems on Linux netbooks.

    Hi, thanks for posting that info. Glad FP is working somewhat better for you. Before replying to your post, I reviewed your other thread and if you have any Adobe Air add ons/plugins etc. you may try disabling them and see if that helps.

    Thanks for the feedback, hope it helps others. I plan on bookmarking it:-)

    Regards,

    I'm glad my link helped.

    I can't get BBC iPlayer desktop to work on my netbook (which uses both Adobe Flash and AIR), it just won't work at all.  However, video performance is better.  I can't watch fullscreen videos above 480p, but performance is much better now I've applied the tweaks mentioned in the link.

    It would be nice if Adobe could investigate why Flash and AIR are problematic on some netbooks, as netbooks are becoming popular second computers.

    Hi, On the BBC iPlayer, they do require that the third party content needs to be allowed, so you might want to check that,.

    This is under the Global Settings:

    On the Adobe Air, if you have any Air add ons, you may want to disable them and see if that helps.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
