I will try it when I get home and report. By the way I just learned another useful function from you. I never knew about the split option in dolphin. :-[ Thanks for that as well.

This is a 64 bit installation Both computers were updated to use Firefox 3.5. What happens (on the KDE 4.3 computer) is that I install flashplayer 10, am informed that the flash was installed correctly. When I reopen Firefox I still see the "missing plugin" message that requests me to install Adobe flash. I don't know if this is connected to the KDE 4.3 upgrade or to the fact that one computer is 64 bit and the other 32 bit. On both computers I upgraded to Firefox 3.5 at the same time, after I had updated to KDE 4.3 on the one computer. I have tried many ways to install Flashplayer 10, including various script written here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit">http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit</a> .html On both computers when using Firefox 3.1 I didn't have a flash problem. There are two major differences between the two computers which confound the problem for me. 1. The problem computer is 64 bit 2. The problem computer uses KDE 4.3 What can I do to try and solve this problem? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> I would try the following: Open dolphin and switch the 'split' option on. In the left pane, navigate to /etc/alternatives. In the right pane, navigate to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins Now, drag the file 'firefox-flashplugin' from the left pane to the right and select the option 'link here'. It should show up as 'flashplugin-alternative.so'. (It doesn't harm to do likewise with other 'plugins'-directories as well, like /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins) Restart firefox and enjoy - hopefully... (BTW: if you have Google Chrome installed, you'll need to manually create the 'plugins' directory in the chrome directory and proceed as described. Then, in the menu-editor add '--enable-plugins' to the command line). Hope that helps Kaj Haulrich. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
