Flash not detected suse 11.4 / Firefox 9.0.1

Hi,

I am not able to get Flash player to work since updating firefox.

OS:

openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64)

VERSION = 11.4

CODENAME = Celadon

Installed firefox 9.0.1

Installed flashplayer from    install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar

When I run firefox, flash player is not detected.

Firefox says   "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash."

./mozilla/firefox/plugins/pluginreg.dat shows:

[INVALID]

/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so:$

1328726850000:$

I realize this could be a problem with firefox, but can you confirm that the

OS/firefox/flash configuration described should work?

Any suggestions as to why flash is not being detected?

Thanks,

George

i gave the link to the 64-bit firefox 9.0.1 earlier: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/9.0.1/linux-x86_64/en-US/

it comes from the release branch, so it will probably update to 10.0.2 after the next launch.  looking forward to hear this works for you...


Didnt work on first try, but worked after a system reboot.

Thanks very much for your help.

Not sure why the x86_64 tar file I first downloaded installed the 32 bit version though.

Hi George,

He just got back into the office yesterday from a two week break.  He let me know that he'd try this out shortly.
