thrall Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 It always works for me when firefox had that little yellow missing plugin thing under the address bar. It installs it fine. Make sure you have the latest stable release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almostageek Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 The funny thing is i just upgraded my system this morning from FC4 to FC5 and everything else worked perfectly. Just this silly plugin thing is pissing me off. Not really a system critical function but would be nice to have so i can view all those funny YouTube videos. Heres what Macromedia says to do 1. Click the "Download Now" button. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the Installer. 2. Save the Installer to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely. 3. Unpackage the file. A directory called install_flash_player_7_linux will be created. 4. Navigate to this directory and from the command line type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer (Note: this can only be run from the command line). The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s). 5. Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu. Or they say to just drop the files in the Plugins folder, which is what i did.

almostageek Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Nope. I gave up on it already. I will probably mess with it again in a few days. Very strange, Very strange... 3 browsers and non of them will work with Flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried installing the 32 bit verson of the browser (if your using a 64 bit cpu w/ FC5x86_64) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almostageek Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 I am pretty sure i got the non-64bit version of FC5. I will to install the 32 bit version of the browser later on tonight and get back to you. The thing that gets me is that i installed Opera and it wont work either.
