I think you need to update your Flash Player. The latest version is 10. something that I don't remember from http://adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.
Shockwave Flash v9.0.r1.52 isn't even the latest in v9. series, the latest 9 series is v9.0.124.
Try updating and see if it works.
Well, I've updated. After reloading the browser (Firefox v3.0.5), About plugins still shows that Flash is v9.0..r1.52. A second attempt to install the new release got the news that v10.0.15.3 is already installed.
I have Firefox 3.0.6 , flash-player-10.0.12.36-4.4, pullin-flash-player-11.1-1.1 and libflashsupport-1.2-4.37 I also have noscript but I removed flashblock when I installed noscript because of a problem, I can't remember what it was, and the page works fine after clicking temporarily allow this page. Maybe flashblock is the problem. Regards Dave P
Since others all seem to be using Firefox v3.0.6, I updated the browser, and VOILÀ, there are the Space Pictures. I think this is not an effect of the new browser release, but a side-effect, by somehow cleaning up the spoiled update of the plugin (about:plugins still shows flash v9.0.r1.52).
I tried then to repeat the plugin update, but doing it correctly this time. Reloading FF and revisiting the Space Pictures brought me the familiar blank page. But re-updating FF did the cleanup again, seeming to verify my assumption above.
So the flash plugin, whatever it is in terms of version, is adequate to see this page, but I am in a Catch-22 because updating to v10.0.15.3 is impossible. So I am asking for advice on how to delete the flash plugin altogether, so that a proper installation can be made from scratch.
Try installing the packages in the non-oss repository, I tried the non suse plugin a while back and it didn't work but the suse ones did. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
