[Klug-general] Shockwave Flash for Seamonkey

[Mike Rentell]

Good morning all,

I have Firefox (don't we all?) and that works fine on my Mandriva 2008 
for all sorts of web pages with Flash attachments but my full 
installation of SeaMonkey always trips up and I get the 'Download and 
install' message.

Done that, blipped the .rpm and it says it is installed and it ain't.

The blurb on the download page says that libflashlayer.so should be 
installed in the mozilla plugins directory. I've done that to the 
.mozilla directory in my user sub. It also says that flashplayer.xpt 
should be installed in the mozilla components directory.

Er... sorry to be thick but what is the mozilla components directory? I 
don't seem to have one, or I can't find it if there is one.

I need to have this in SeaMonkey as many email correspondents send 
references to clips in YouTube etc that I am supposed to view and I 
can't without cutting and pasting the reference from Seamonkey into the 
stand-alone Firefox. That's a bit laborious.

It all worked once, but since I resiled from 64bit to 32bit to get some 
sound - now it don't.

All offerings gratefully received.
