    There are 3 ways to install Flash (or any plugins for Firefox).

    1. Install it in the global mozilla plugins directory. On most systems, this is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
    2. Install it in the Firefox (Swiftfox) only plugin directory, e.g. /opt/swiftfox/plugins/
    3. Install it on the local profile for a single user only, e.g. ~/.mozilla/plugins/

    right, fixed it, none of install locations you suggested worked, but when i did a manual install (copy flashplayer.xpt & libflashplayer.so) to /opt/swiftfox/plugins and i chose skip when prompted (file were not visible, but are now)

    Swiftfox is just an optimized build of Firefox. In other words, it is Firefox, but built architecture-specific so it'll run faster on those systems. Otherwise, there is no difference at all.[/ot]

    P.S. - Flash 7 barely works for anything these days, you might be better off with the Linux beta of Flash 9: Adobe Labs - Downloads: Flash Player 9 Update

    Which means Firefox = Swiftfox
    So Logically, your new name Should be Firefox42 coz it is more popular :p[/ot]

    [ot]This is probably the most off-topic content in a technical thread ever. :eek: You guys should probably move this to the general chat forum, IM, or something. :)[/ot]
