Howdy folks, in case you missed it: Adobe finally released a Beta of their latest Flash Player, no more failing websites, no more out of sync audio, what a blessing...

On Firefox all you have to do is remove the old installation:

Code: Select all

(sudo) rm /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt

(or remove the package if you installed version 7 using a package manager)

Grab the file from Adobe, untar it, switch to the newly created directory, and move libflashplayer.so to your firefox plugin-directory:

Code: Select all

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

And when you're done, something for your listening pleasure

p.s. Flash sucks none the less.

thx adrian. I will try later at home... btw, I agree flash sux when used improperly, particularly in web for stupid thing... but actionscript it's still a nice language...

Btw, make sure you clean out the old version from your /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ directory aswell, if you have one. I was quite confused to find that Version 7 was back today
