There is also a work around that I came across that will work with some
sites that request Flash 9.
From
http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/14/flash-9-for-xubuntu/
1) Make a back-up of the file ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat:
cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat.bak
2) Edit that file:
nano ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat
3) Replace the lines that say
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63:$
to
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r63:$

Hi Robin. That's interesting. I don't access sites that use Flash much, but
have you got a link to a site that needs Flash 9, so that I can try the
workaround. Not a crude site please.
