Hello,

I'm trying to install the latest Macromedia Flash Player.

The initial download placed the tar file in the tmp directory and I moved it over to my directory where I tried to execute the script.

The script asked me for the install path for the mozilla browser and the only path the script would accept was as follows:

/opt/mozilla/lib

The script ran but it doens't appear that the plug in to Firefix 1.5 (my version) picked it up because it doesn't work.

Any suggestions as how I can resolve this will be appreciated.

The url I'm going to is MSNBC.COM and I want to look at some video...that's when I receive the message about needing this plug-in.

Thanks.

Hello,

Where is your installation of Firefox? In your home directory? If that is the case you need to direct it there.

If you are having problems the readme file of Flash Player 7 indicates that you can manually copy the the files <libflashplayer.so> and <flashplayer.xpt> to your browser's plugins folder.

If you are using the Beta Version Flash Player 9 it tells you to copy or move libflashplayer.so into your plugins directory. I use this and it has worked just fine, but I couldn't find it on their site any longer.

You need to identify your directory.
