You need to locate where your latest Flashplayer files are. Delete any older Flashplayer files. Then you need to copy, or create a new symbolic link to the the new Flashplayer files. Your new Flashplayer files, or symbolic links, should be placed in the plugins directory under the main firefox directory. For example, if the Flashplayer files were installed in "/usr/lib/flash-plugin/", and your plugins directory was "/usr/lib/firefox-3.0, then you could create a symbolic link as follows:
ln -sf /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/plugins/libflashplayer.so Regards, LelandJ Joe Yoder wrote: > I am getting my feet wet in Ubuntu and seem to have a situation where Firefox > and Flashplayer are somhow out of sync.
