To get flash to work in Firefox, you need to copy the flash plugin stuff to the Firefox plugin directory: cp /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/* /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/ Then you need to add the following lines to /etc/libmap.conf: [/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so] libpthread.so.0 libpthread.so.2 libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash7.so libz.so.1 libz.so.3 libm.so.6 libm.so.4 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash7.so The fact that Firefox does not have any way to configure plugin directories is a bug. You used to be able to do that in Mozilla, but I guess Firefox got pressured by the Gnome Usability Police(tm) and decided to dumb down the interface so only dumb people could use it. Sigh.
