Under Linux, you can just download the tar file, extract the archive and
copy over ShockwaveFlash.class and libflashplayer.so to the plugins
directory. Flash works nicely for me.
If you're using Windows or Mac, I don't know what to do. The xpi file
should work (I clicked on it by mistake and it created a dll in the
plugins directory). If nothing is happening when you click on it, then
either there's something wrong with your installation/profile, or its a bug.
Pratik.
