FlashPlayer - Debian Wiki - http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
For flash either install flashplugin-nonfree from the normal Debian repos or flashplayer-mozilla from deb-multimedia.org repo.
Remove gnash if you have it installed.
- Code: Select all
apt-get purge gnash
Java - Debian Wiki - http://wiki.debian.org/Java
For Java I suggest Openjdk which works well:
- Code: Select all
apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
and the browser plugin, on Debian Stable you want icedtea6-plugin
on Wheezy/Testing and unstable/sid you want icedtea-6-plugin
For other browser plugins install one of the following:
gecko-mediaplayer - Multimedia plug-in for Gecko browsers
browser-plugin-vlc - multimedia plugin for web browsers based on VLC
totem-mozilla - Totem Mozilla plugin
xine-plugin - xine-based media player plugin for Mozilla browsers
You also need the app that the plugin uses, in most cases installing the plugin will also install the app.
Other plugins:
mozplugger - Plugin allowing external viewers to be launched inside Mozilla
mozilla-acroread - Adobe Acrobat(R) Reader plugin for mozilla / konqueror
konq-plugins - plugins for Konqueror, the KDE file/web/document browser
konqueror-nsplugins - Netscape plugin support for Konqueror
kpartsplugin - Netscape-compatible plugin to embed KDE file-viewers into browser
Various keyrings which are only needed if you use that repo/architecture:

I would suggest closing your browser then before restarting it, delete the pluginreg.dat
and mimeTypes.rdf in your Iceweasel/Firefox profile located in .mozilla. Please note that this will reset your plugin and application settings in Iceweasel/Firefox.
The above will allow your browser to play pretty much any online media. Other than a few of the sites that use proprietary media players like some of the news sites, I can't remember the last time I ran into anything online I couldn't play in Firefox.
