In spite of your kind help. no > Flash plugin working ... Ok. I've just fired up FC5 to check what I told you. if Firefox is installed you should have a directory in /usr/lib for Firefox. Mine has several versions, 1.5.0.4 being one of them. You need to create the softlinks from this directory to the flash-plugin directory, which is also in /usr/lib, as root. Leave the .mozilla directory in /home/user out of the equation. So, after su'ing to root, type. ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/flashplayer.xpt /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt I'm sorry about the "ln" being misplaced. Something to do with Kmails composer. As someone else has said, there are problems with some websites that are insisting on Flashplayer 9 (the Windows version), and perhaps it's about time that Macromedia got their act together. This site works ok with Flashplayer 7 http://laracameron.com Nigel.
