I just went to a website that won't let me do anything without<br>flashplayer 7 (I have 6). It took me to adobe's site and I downloaded 7<br>for Linux.<br>I ran the install script and it wanted to install it for Mozilla or
<br>Netscape. I chose Mozilla which put the files in<br>$HOME/.mozilla/plugins. This didn't do anything for Firefox <a href="http://1.5.0.2" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">1.5.0.2
</a>.<br>Then, I found an old flash plugins directory in /usr/lib and updated
<br>that. Nada. Then, my brain kicked in and I copied the files to<br>~/installs/firefox/plugins (where FF is actually installed - I haven't<br>fixed it for global install yet). I was sure that would work, but<br>nothing happened.
<br><br>Each time I tested, I closed and reopened FF.<br><br>The files are flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so .<br><br>1) Where is the equivalent of Help->About->Plugins in Firefox?<br><br>2) Where is the plugins manager? I found a download setting for
<br>Shockwave Flash files, but all it would let me do is switch between open<br>with what it thought was the right app or download to file. (I think it<br>was for .swf files which is probably not the same as plain flash anyway.)
<br><br>3) Where do I put the Flash stuff so FF finds it?<br><br>Joe<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>nflug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:nflug@nflug.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
