Ok, I found out why all of my browsers were not recongnizing the Flash plugin. I ran my browser from terminal and noticed that 'libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3' was not installed. I went ahead and download the RPM, installed it and all browsers work now.

Normally, you should be able to run the flash-installer and be good. In case you are in the same boat as me, and many others from the sound of it, run launch your browser from a terminal and check for any errors outputed to the terminal or log files.

well I am giving up. I can't get the stupid plugin to work at all. I have tried everything to get it working and nothing has worked.

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it, but this is retarded and I don't even want to screw with it anymore.

In Mandrake 9.2, all you need to do is install the libstdc++2.10.rpm package.

This package is NOT installed by default and is required by flash plugin.

See the unoffical f.a.q. on how to do this easily and keep it updated as easily using yum.
