Sounds like the RPM may have not dropped the flash plugin files into the right place. Take a look in ~/.mozilla/plugins and see if these two files are there: flashplayer.xpt libflashplayer.so If not, find where the installer put them and copy them to that location. Then exit firefox and restart it, and then the flash plugin should work. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) -----------------------------
