those OLD backtrack4 guides are also for the OLD firefox 2 and ff3
-- firefox is now 14 ---
that bt page is also for the 64 bit flash on a 64 bit OS
and not for the CURRENT flash 32 bit plugin
the 64 bit flash plugin was alpha testing for a long time
the current firefox
DOSE NOT have a /plugins folder in it
the tarbal for ff 14 uses YOUR plugin folder in
/usr/lib/plugins
or
/usr/lib64/plugins
bt dose not document that much
they ASSUME that you ARE an expert already
and that you can write the documentation on your own
so
are you using the 64 bit Backtrack5 ? or the 32 bit BT5 ?
--- for the 32 bit BT5 and 32 bit flash
the normal everyday install instructions on the First post
will install the 32 bit flash on a 32 bit BT5
-- the 32 bit flash 11.2
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/com...r.gz%29_32-bit
1)remove the old "libflash"
extract the tarbal
( there IS more that one file in there !
flash NOW has configure tools in/usr
Code:

and READ the README.txt
also if this IS an older Firefox say the now dead FF 3.6
install firefox 14 FIRST
a manual install
also the 32 bit VS 64 bit issues are here also
for the 32 bit firefox for a 32 bit OS
use the firefox web site
but again BT assumes that YOU already know this
and already know how to switch a 32 bit ff for the 64 bit ff on a 64 bit OS
