Here's what I found:
On the macromedia site the beta9 links kept pointing to a version #7!
I clicked all over their site, like a monkey on meth, and found a link
that actually offered a beta 9 that dnloaded a beta 9 tarball. After
opening it I copied that new file to /usr/lib/firefox-X.X.X/plugins
then to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and /usr/lib/mozilla-X.X.X/plugins/
Whew! Covered ALL the bases. Now about:plugins shows flash version 9
On Fedora systems (yes /usr/lib/firefox-x works as well) if you just
copy/link the file(s) to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ dir that will get it
for you for the whole system. No need to do it to the rest of them as
you mentioned.
I have the links in both /usr/lib/firefox<version> as well as
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. It just refuses to work for some reason.
I created ~/.mozilla/plugins and made a link there as well. Didn't work.
I've never had this much trouble getting Java to work. I can't imagine
what the problem might be. I wish there were some error.log you could
see that would give helpful hints.
Thanks,
Mike
