djradiorick Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I am having a heck of a time getting flash 8 to run on os x with firefox. I uninstall flash 9 and then install flash 8, but when i go to view pages in firefox, i get a notification that i dont have the flash player and am prompted to download. If I download then it automatically puts me back to flash 9. I can see pandora's jar when using flash 9, but no files are ever recorded. Ive downloaded and installed greasemonkey and used flash switcher. Anybody with a mac can you please tell me how you got it to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pichet Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think the word "masquerade" was used about modifying a file to make it look like v8 was in fact a v9... You can try to patch the Flash Player binary driver instead, i believe it worked under Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal.hockersmith Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 My guess is that you are visiting a page that requires that you use Flash 9. Here is what I did. I made two folders in the Internet plugins folder, one for flash 8 and one for flash 9. Then I made 2 automator scrips that will close firefox and copy the files from the respective folders for which version I want to use. This way when I want to run pandora's jar then all I have to do is run "LoadFlash8" (name of the script) and i go back to flash 8. If I need to upgrade I just run "LoadFlash9" and I am back to using flash 9. it is a bit cumbersome but it will work in a pinch to get you going.

Pichet Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I vaguely recall using Flash Switcher to choose from four versions (genuine v8 and v9 plus patched v8 and v9), this was originally written for the Windows version of FireFox, i suppose it can be adapted to OS X as well...
