Hi,
Has anyone tried installing the latest (I think version 9 is the latest) Flash Player browser plug-in for Firefox provided by Adobe? By that I mean the one provided here (in both tarball and RPM forms):

I'm curious and a bit dubious whether a generic RPM can properly integrate with the existing (Novell- / SuSE-supplied) Firefox 1.5 on my system. And I'm naturally not eager to use a tarball.
I installed the rpm in 9.3, and it's working very well.
Odd. I installed in on my 10.0 system, and it did nothing. Firefox is still using version 7 (and yes, I shut down and restarted the browser), even though when I installed the version 9 RPM it printed this message: Files belonging to older Flash plugins have been removed from the filesystem. For your safety these files have been saved in /root/oldflashplugins.tar.gz. You may remove this tarball if these files are no longer required. Evidently, all it saved was some symbolic links: % tar ztvf /root/oldflashplugins.tar.gz lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2006-02-03 19:02:21 usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2006-02-03 19:02:21 usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt -> /usr/lib/browser-plugins/flashplayer.xpt Oh, joy.
