Firefox [solved]

[satelliteuser083]

I'm sure that this is a very simple process, but I can't do it. I've downloaded a plug-in for FF but don't know where to put it (so that FF can install the thing). I'm using LE2005 and FF is version 1.0.4 (I think; it says 1.0.2 but I upgraded it to get SessionSaver to work). Any tips, please

If you install firefox via urpmi, then it usually be installed at /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7/

.

and /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7/plugins/

for the plugins, that is... the plugin will be available to all..

.

if you install firefox from the installer you get from their website, then you usually it will be /usr/local/firefox

.

and for the plugins

/usr/local/firefox/plugins

.

hope I dont mis-lead you :P

So it's an xpi file? If yes then just open the file in FF (File\Open file).

aioshin and dexter11: I downloaded the file (install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz) from

www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer,

unpacked it and followed the installation-instructions in the readme.txt; this resulted in an automatic installation, so I didn't need to know where to put the plug-in, FF did it for me. Great stuff!! :P Thanks for your help.
