Any help?

Hello,

As you having issue with the non-free plugin, (as I did once, it installed
but didnt run), the manually install it. Fortuanately it is easy to install
manually:-

1. Obtain the Flash download the .tar.gz format and download to your
Desktop. You can download from here:-

Flash Download Page<http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux&P3_Browser_Version=Netscape4>

2. Extract the tar.gz on the desktop and you should then have a folder, lets
presume the folder is named flashPlayer (your name will be different).

3. Open a terminal and lets go to the directory:-

cd Desktop/flashPlayer

then do a list command:-

ls

The ls command should print out the directories contents, i.e what files the
directory contains.

4. You should see a file named "libflashplayer.so", we need to move that
file to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.

5. To move the file still in your terminal do the following command:-

sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

6. If you have any Firefox instances open close them down so Firefox isnt
running, then re-launch firefox and flash should be running fine!

Hope this helps...

Regards

Don't forget flashplayer.xpt: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/flash.html
How do I install Flash Player on Linux?
On Linux, download Flash Player 9. Once downloaded, copy
libflashplayer.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and flashplayer.xpt
to your Mozilla components directory.
