*I have Firefox 3.5.3, now when I am at a website that requires flash it 
is telling me to install it...Well I have adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1 
installed, but it does not show up using about:plugins...Why...???

Has anyone else had this problem...

Thanks for any help one can offer...


Did you install using libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz?  Do you have the file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so?
Do you have an entry in "about:plugins" for swf 10.0.32?

I first is yes, then you have to copy libflashplayer.so, or symlink it, to the second directory.
If the second question is no.  See first question answer.  You have to copy or symlink the libflashplayer.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ dir.
If you don't have an entry for shockwave flash-10.0.32 in ff about:plugins then it's not installed or not installed correctly.
Hope this helps some,
