application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes
shockwave flash is listed twice at begining and at last of the list as i specified above..thanks..
That's your problem!! You have loaded two conflicting plugins. That's why it doesn't work. I would suggest you remove/disable the gnash plugin and restart FFx and your flash will be working.
Cheers,

please see my one more question at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...roblem-743165/
thanks once again...
I don't understand. I did tell you what the problem was. You loaded two conflicting plugins to deal with the flash player. Both the gnash plugin and the flash plugin were trying to do the same thing.
