In the previous thread I used firefox-1.0.7-r4 (stable gentoo) and the |
| 9 |
problem started when I switched to 1.5 so I unmerged both firefox and |
| 10 |
flash and then reinstall them. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
but I choosed the flash plugin from macromedia.com and and now it |
| 13 |
works well |

Yes but "netscape-flash" is only flash not shockwave, so only flash |
| 36 |
should work fine. I'm not shure but I think there's no shockwave for |
| 37 |
linux... |
