Gone in a Flash ... or rather Flash no longer working!

How about installing the flash plug-in for firefox?

http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-flash

Instructions for the tar.gz:

Using firefox you go to the download page of adobe (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) and you download the install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz file.
The file is located at your "downloads" folder. Go there, right-click on it and select "extract here".
Then open terminal and navigate to the location of the extracted folder.

Code:

cd /home/swarf/Downloads/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386

Then copy the libflashplayer.so to the directory of mozilla's plug-ins.

Code:

sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

and then copy the "usr" file contents (provided in the tar.gz) to the respective usr files of your system

Code:

sudo cp -r usr/* /usr

At least this is what I would do. Nah, I wouldn't do that... I am using CHROME were flash is already installed...

Swarf, if it's opera you want, you can follow the exact same steps but at step2 -when copying the libflashplayer.so plug-in, change the directory to:

Code:

sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins

Restart Opera, and it should recogize the plug-in automaticaly.

So you got it working then? That's great!
