Bad idea! That is a version 9 player which has known security flaws. The version 10 player available from adobe is newer. I don't know why that error is appearing, but can you try entering these commands after closing firefox: su (then enter the root password. You will then be running a root shell). 7z x flas (press TAB key on keyboard to autocomplete filename, then ENTER). tar -xvf fla (press TAB again to autocomplete filename, then ENTER) cd flash_player_r (press TAB again, then ENTER) cp *.so /usr/lib/firefox/plug (press TAB again, then ENTER. Path should be completed as /usr/lib/firefox/plugins) Then run firefox - flash should now be installed. Go to flash.com to check. Cheers Andrew. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
