Dear All, Thankyou very much for your responses, however perhaps I could have been clearer,
I am using FedoraCore 9, and before 10 gets released in 10 days time I shall be writing to the developers to enlighten them on the problem of 64bit systems. Either they want Linux to be a serious competitor to MS or they don't. Anyway, I found what I thought was a 32bit version of Firefox firefox-3.0.4-1.fc9.i386.rpm having removed the 64bit one, and installed, upon going to youtube I was told to upgrade, which I tried to for the flash, however it said I already had flash 10 installed, which I did last week and according to add/remove software is flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release (i386) So I have flash 32bit, firefox 32 bit and its still nt working, I open up firefox and see About and it says Mozilla/5.0 (x11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008111217 Fedora/3.0.4-1.fc9 Firefox/3.04 Am I reading this right? Has this thing updated itself to 64 bit version when I spent bloody hours finding the 32 bit one???
