I had tried flash > 7 with native ffox sometime last year. The answer was to give up on it and have linux-fir= efox and the whole linux-* saga. So I decided to give this a try again, with some mixed results. I double checked what I was doing with the steps shown in the URL Gaye kindly provid= ed, it all checked out as expected. Ups : ffox native still works better, to me, than linux-firefox : it's not = such a cpu hog, it feels more snappy. Flash9 works mostly, except in certain cas= es, and in those cases, it's not fatal (ffox doesnt die) Downs: Flash videos, such as those in video.google, youtube and others, load (static image is shown, start streaming), play for about 1 second with vide= o + sound, and then they just dissapear from the browser, with errors from the NSPluginWrapper.
