Well my Firefox does play (most) Flash animations. However, when I tried these 3 sites I was alerted with messages to upgrade Flash Player.
Message read: "Express Install is not supported by this version of Flash Player. To upgrade, please visit Flash Player download center."
So I went to the download center and the version that's being offered is 7,0,61,0 (November 2005).
That is the version I'm currently using! So I'm stumped why it's prompting me to upgrade when I have the most current version installed. At least I think so.
I checked about:plugins and found the following:
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r61
and below that another Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25.
So I'm wondering if maybe I have a conflict? Should I delete 7.0 r25 and, if yes, how do I delete it from the installed plugins?
Thanks! Gil
Mine didn't lock up my browser, but I have noticed sites that do lock up my browser if they have a lot of flash there. Can't tell you any off the top of my head at the moment.
The sites that Kai gave as examples all use flashplayer 8 which is not available for linux yet. Therefore, none of them work currently.
I do notice that Firefox is very slow on my machine especially when flash is involved. I had the same problem with Ubuntu and the solution there was to scrap the distro provided Firefox and load the one directly from Mozilla. This seemed to make the browser run much faster on Ubuntu. Haven't tried that on SuSE now that I've moved my laptop back from Ubuntu.
I just got blank pages... Oh, wait a minute, I have a flash blocker which disables flash... 99% of the flash I see are adverts that overlay what I went to the site for in the first place, so I just disable it by default now...
