Radeon HD 6310, choppy in YouTube, even when using HTML5

You're really limited by that hardware on linux. You could try gnash. Remove all history, cookies etc from Firefox first, then close Firefox. Clean Firefox via Lite Tweaks.
then do:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer

Code:

sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash

At http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/de...ntu+x86+32, the driver revision number is 15.5.  In Synaptic, I see 2:15.2.  Does that mean revision 15.2?

How did it go with gnash?

I'll have access to the laptop again next week.  In the meantime I'm considering Gnash as well as installing the driver from the vendor's site.

I had some time with the laptop on the 4th of July.  I cleared Firefox history via Firefox and I used the Lite Cleaner.  I ran the two commands you listed.  When I opened Firefox to view a Youtube video, there was no playback.  Just a black screen with a message saying something to the effect of the video not being available or something like that.  I reverted back to flash for the time being.

Try the fresh-player plugin. It basically takes the newer flash player from Chrome (Pepper Flash) and allows it to run in Firefox. Some of the newer versions have fixed hardware choppiness before.

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skunk/pepper-flash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer

Once installed, reboot machine and fire up Firefox. If YouTube is set to use Flash, it will now use the fresh-player plugin.

Hello!

I tried this, as the freshplayer plugin caused my FF39 to crash. The PPA description when installing this doesn't mention anything about Firefox, but I installed it anyway. It didn't help my situation (getting away from Flash 11), so I guess I'll have to wait until freshplayer can run without crashing FF...

It looks like "pepperflashplugin-nonfree" is also available via the Install/Remove Software app (a.k.a. Synaptic Package Manager)Menu->System->Install/Remove Software.
