Gee, I wonder why those 'daft programmers' don't want to support it in their 
browser anymore. 8-/

Not that it's very likely that someone still running 10.4 is going to be worth 
hacking directly, the issue is that there are numerous exploits out in the wild 
for Flash like this, and while your system may not lead to anything of value it 
can be used as a platform to launch other attacks outward.

All very remote, yes, but more than enough reason to not support known 
vulnerabilities in your software.

Does that mean that the latest release will not work with Flash Player
10.1? Would be a bit daft, since they're calling it TenFour. Or do you
have to manually enable plugins?

Re: TenFourFox

[Illirik Smirnov]

Also, everyone, be sure to remember that Flash 10.1 has severe security
problems. If we all lobby Adobe to release an updated version (I emailed
them way back when they dropped support telling them I wouldn't buy new
software till they compiled new Flash for PPC), they might actually do it.

Also, MacTubes is ridiculously slow. For instance, my PBG4 1.5GHz w/ 2GB RAM
plays 240p video fine in TFF even with other things running (although 360p
barely runs) whereas mactubes stutters.

Re: Poor Airport reception

[Charles Lenington]

A grounded outlet made no difference.

I've read about ethernet via powerlines, but I'm not sure on how it
works exactly. Do I need a free ethernetport on the router? Or is it
like a wireless repeater?


Greetings,

Eelco.

As a test take a 10 ft (or 1 meter) of wire and wrap 2 - 3 inches (7 - 8 
cm) of an end around each antenna and temp attach to wall (tacks, push 
pins). Try with more wraps if needed. I don't think metal to metal 
needed but might be worth testing also.

Re: TenFourFox

[Ashgrove]

Not really. TenFour refers to the OS, which is 10.4, or 10.4.11 when
fully updated. Flash has got nothing to do with it.

And yes, plugins are supposed to be enabled manually, in the newest
TenFourFox version at least.

Re: TenFourFox

[Illirik Smirnov]

Because of some daft programmers who decided that we don't need Flash
anymore on the Internet, Flash as well as every other plugin are disabled by
default in TFF6 and higher. You have three options for dealing with Flash
content:
 1) Install both TFF5 and TFF7 and use one/other for flash/noflash (although
you cant run more than one at a time)
2) Use other software to handle Flash videos (MacTubes for Youtube, etc)
3) Follow these steps to enable plugins in TFF6+:

1) Type into addressbar "about:config"
2) Accept disclaimer
3) Search "plugins"
4) Switch the option "enable plugins" (or something like that) to true
5) Restart TFF

I like 3 the best. Don't you?

Fair disclaimer: Flash 10.1 doesn't work on some sites and has security
holes in it; proceed at own risk.
