I also have this problem since upgrading opensuse 11.1 to 11.2. No problems before then. SOME flash videos won't work in Firefox 3.5.5 (bbc iplayer, most youtube videos) when compiz is enabled. The holding-down-right-click workaround works for me. If I switch to Metacity or Kwin then all works okay. So it seems like it's a Compiz thing but dailymotion.com, for instance, works with no problems (Compiz enabled). Also no problems with flash videos with Opera (bbc iplayer and youtube work fine). So I only get this bug when Compiz is enabled and I'm viewing only certain sites in Firefox. Oh and I'm 32-bit not 64-bit. Have tried numerous combos of standalone flash player, plugins, gnash and swf codecs to no avail. Only the hold-right-click workaround seems to register the left-clicks of my mouse.
