cannot install flash plug in
 
i've donwloaded the flas plug-in and when i try to install it, it asks me for the path of mozilla, which is /bin/lib/mozilla. when i type that in, it says that it is an invalid path. I know it's valid because i've used the same to install the java script plug-in. what am i doing wrong?

thanx

It is probably /usr/lib/mozilla, not /bin/lib/mozilla.

You can do a search all over the place for it. For crying out loud, searchin' is so awesome I can feel the computin' happenin' all ova the place.

Anyway, mine was installed in /usr/lib/mozilla, so I'm not sure where it would be other than that.

well do download the flush plugin from this site I had this and it didn't asking for mozilla installation directory

Or /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/. Change the 1.4 to the correct number for your version of mozilla.

You are welcome :)
Another tip of you sometime downloads firefox then you need the plugins for it.

just do copy the plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/plugins to the firefox plugins directory it will work.

:) that is what I do today after dowloading firefox
