[edit] Flash support in Mer

In order to have Flash support in the web browser, please install the package swfdec-mozilla. In the terminal:

sudo apt-get install swfdec-mozilla

Close any running instances of the web browser and start it up again. Swfdec should now play Flash content, videos in YouTube, etc.

Swfdec, unlike the proprietary Adobe Flash plugin, does support fullscreen video, but its performance (and thus practicality) is yet to be tested.

The swfdec-mozilla package should be included in Mer by default to offset the lack of the proprietary Flash plugin.

This was tested in Mer 0.14, under VirtualBox.

However, when tested on N810 in Mer 0.15testing9, this is what happens http://imgur.com/GeZDI.jpg
