Topic: flash plugin

[measter]

for some reason the linux version of firefox won't recognise the flash plugin i'v installed. heres the instructions:

To install the Plug-in Player for Linux:

- This installer is script-based and cannot be run from a GUI.
- Uncompress install_flash_player_6_linux.tar.gz.  A directory called install_flash_player_6_linux is created.  Navigate to this directory.
- From the command line, type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer.  The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).
- Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser.  To verify, choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser's menu.

i'v done exactly what it said, and it's done what it's supposed to do because it's put the files in the plugin directory, but firefox is just ignoring them. so every time i open a page with a flash animation it moans at me for "not having" the flash plugin installed. >

The only thing I can suggest is to double check you have the correct version of Macromedia Flash for Mozilla Firefox (the current version for Windows is 7 - not sure about Linux), and try re-installing it?  I'm only guessing really.

Contact Macromedia perhaps... it may be a known issue.
If you do get a result that way, post it here so we all know plz!
