[Bug 351838] Re: Flash player does not work in Firefox when already installed

I am not very experienced with Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron) so my understanding is limited. But I have tried again and again to install Adobe Flash Player (10.0.42.34) with no luck. I get a message saying that Flash is already installed. YET... I cannot view flash content in Firefox
