Thank you ! I tried to install version 9 and was told it was already installed. However, when I type about: plugins in firefox, I was told only version 7 was installed.
I suspect I got two versions of firefox installed, and the flash 9.0 is instaalled in the old version firefox.
The problem is : How can I know where my current 2.0.0.4 firefox is located(but not the old version firefox) and how can I install flash player 9.0 to my firefox 2.0.0.4 ?
First step would be uninstalling v7. Did you install FF 2 as user? If yes then you need to dig in your home directory to find out where your Firefox looks for plugins (see ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat). Sorry, cannot give you detailed help. Never tried FC, and I always install things in system locations. My Flash resides in /opt/netscape/plugins but I hardly believe knowing this helps you, every distro seems to place flash differently.
