Flash 9 Player For Linux Released!
Adboe has finally released Flash Player 9 for Linux. Ok, so it's only a pre-release version but seems to work fine for me and it's about time. A lot of sites had migrated to Flash 9 and us Linux users were SOL.
To install the Firefox plugin as root in the CLI:
# cd /usr/src
# wget http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b1_installer_linuxplugin
# tar -xzvf FP9_plugin_beta_101806.tar.gz
# cd flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.55/
# cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.7/plugins
The above commands extracts the archive and copies the binary plugin to the Mozilla Firefox plugins directory.
Restart Firefox. Enjoy.
