mozilla flash player constantly crashes mozilla
 
I dont know who messed up the flash player on our server (we are 3 users using sunrays)
I cant figure how to fix it, and downloaded the flash.so and cp it into
/opt/csw/mozilla/firefox/lib/plugins
/opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins
/home/username/.mozilla/plugins

and still whenever I enter a page with flash content, it crashes my firefox.

Any ideas on how to fix this??
THX in advance

What version of Firefox are you running? Have you tried running Firefox with strace?

I am using Firefox/2.0.0.2
How do I run it with strace?

strace mozilla-firefox (or whatever the binary is)

man strace

Watch the output from the shell as Firefox crashes. It should tell you what you need to know.

Ray: thanks

I tried to run "strace firefox" as my regular user: this came up
Code:
bash-3.00$ strace firefox
ERROR: unable to open /dev/log
I went en vi the log, and it was empty.

Then I went to su:
Code:
# strace firefox
ERROR: tracer already exists
...help¿?

Try to run strace with

strace -o firefox.log firefox

After it crashes, open up the log file and look towards the bottom of the file for the errors

tail -200 firefox.log |less

Under System V Unix, strace is a command unrelated to the Gnu strace found on most Linux distros.

Use truss instead:
Code:
truss -f firefox
Another point: you have more than one firefox installed (sfw and csw), which one are you launching ?

I am running /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/firefox
and I outputted the truss into a file.
