Adobe Flash Player 10+ plugin on Firefox

prudra · October 25, 2009, 5:20pm

In order to watch videos from nobelprize.org via Firefox
I now need Adobe Flash Player 10+ (previously it used to be
Real Player and I had no problem).
I downloaded flash-plugin-10.0.32.18.rpm on my
openSUSE 10.3 Gnome OS and installed by running rpm -Uvh.
Even then the videos are not playing and the notice tells
that I need Adobe Flash Player 10+ .
Please advise.

You should remove the old flash and do

rpm -ihv *packagename

FYI: You quote wrongly -Uvh

it’s rpm -Uhv

I think both are valid - but I’ve been wrong before.

Thanks caf & jim. Everything is working fine.
An information for non-specialists/users only:
I had to close the browser before installing the plug-in
to have it active.
