In the previous thread I used firefox-1.0.7-r4 (stable gentoo) and the problem started when I switched to 1.5 so I unmerged both firefox and flash and then reinstall them. but I choosed the flash plugin from macromedia.com and and now it works well So, I unmerged netscape-flash, deleted any macromedia directories or stale flash plugins lying around, and reinstalled netscape-flash. When I go to http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ I get the firefox message Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. Then I click on the Install Missing Plugins... and after a status bar it says: No suitable plugins were found. Unknown Plugin [Manual Install] The Manual Install button takes me to Shockwave Player Download Center which says We are unable to locate a Web player that matches your platform and browser. Now what? netscape-flash is the right ebuild for firefox isn't it? Yes but netscape-flash is only flash not shockwave, so only flash should work fine. I'm not shure but I think there's no shockwave for linux... bye Giulio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
