Where is Flash 10.1
I'm running 10.4.11 on G4 Mini Every time Firefox updates it tells me I must update Flash Player NOW. So I download and install Flash Player 10.1 but where does it go? I have Macromedia Flash 8 installed and in the sub folder "Players" SAFlashPlayer appears and it appears again in the sub-sub-folder "Release". Who two I don't know. This is the player that opens when I click on a .swf file. and it is vs 8. Spotlight turns up nothing. I read Dan's Feb post regarding the beta 10.1 with all the recommendations and caveats, but I haven't noticed any significant problems with web sites etc. So I guess I can live with vs 8 or perhaps download vs 9, but can't help wondering where 10.1 goes when the installer seems to finish fine.
