Thanks, Eric and Vince, for the warm welcome, and the patient attempts at handholding...
I got the installers for both Firefox and Flash from the respective official sites -- that is, after getting Firefox working, I was prompted (upon visiting a Flash site) to download the Flash installer. As I mentioned, after finding that the Flash installer put everything under /home/user/.mozilla/, I just copied everything I found there to /home/user/firefox/plugins -- to no avail. I'd love to use urpmi and RPM... if you can bear with me and explain exactly what that is! Is it automated versioning or whatever like CVS? I'm running Mandrake Linux 9.2 stock, straight off their site's installer ISOs, and so far, Firefox is the only thing I've tried to put on it! Mahalo, Ryan
