Comment(by manuq):

 Trying adobe flash player... unsuccessfully.

 In olpc build os8 with XO-1.5 .

 Went to the adobe page, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer .  It guess I'm
 using chrome or open source chromium browser. I downloaded adobe-
 release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm and installed it.  This installs a repo in
 /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo .
  I then installed flash-plugin (18M) using yum install flash-plugin .
 This replaces gnash, overriding the symlink in
 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so that now points to
 /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so .  The plugin database test in
 [comment:5 comment 5] shows it, I removed libtotem-vegas-plugin.so (which
 also claims to provide Shokwave Flash) just in case.

 Then opened Browse and tried the same pages as in the gnash test in
 [comment:7 comment 7] but they don't show the flash embeds, the blue box
 with the ? sign is displayed instead (as with java in IcedTea.

 Same happens inside Epiphany.
