11.1, Firefox, plugin problem.............

English Applications
1

Ok even though I think I have searched high and low in these forums as
well as others…here goes.

I am continually getting an error message at the top of my FF browser
window that indicates I am missing or have not enabled flash or java or
both.

I (THINK) I have both installed and turned on but still keep getting
the message.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and can you help?

Please.

Cheers,

David

Code:

Enter about:plugins in your Firefox address window and post the results here.

OK, you need to install the flashplayer plugin, it is not installed. It
should be installed by default in 11.1. Have you upgraded Firefox?

I have 11.1 and I did it from a dvd.iso and fresh install. When I try
to re-install the flash player all i get is an error message that it is
already installed.

Have you tried just the Firefox plugin for flash rather than installing
flash on your computer? You can find it here:

How you installed it from the DVD - it isn’t included.
It’s enough to install the flash-player from the non-oss repo, and for
java the sun-plugin from the same repo.

ok…i tried to load that firefox plugin and it redirects
me to the adobe site which loads the plugin but stalls in the middle and
tells me that it failed because it is already installed. I don’t get
this…

Have you both packages installed (what I’m suggested in my post)?
