Browse the Gentoo forums, they have a method involving qemu.

I was finally able to install the adblock extension (not plugin). On the Economist site, putting *doubleclick* into the adblock settings completely removed the annoying images. However now the firefox performance has tanked even in gmail... so I'll need to adjust things a bit more. Thank you for the suggestion!

Here's a tip: get the adblocker plugin and add filters for any sites with troublesome flash. eg http://www.economist.com/*swf (or just their ad server or ad directory if it's that easy with their site to get rid of all the ads). Then maybe when the next version of swf_player comes out, go back through your blocked swf urls and try them to see if the problem is fixed. For the time being I actually have a complete flash killer filter, just "*swf" in adblocker, but I don't know if you want to go that far. Sorry if this tip negates testing of swf_player. I have every intention of checking the source code one of these days and seeing if I can understand it well enough to debug these sorts of problems and submit patches. -- Mike Small [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Interestingly, when i'm installing the missing plugin, it complains nothing, just installs it smoothly, and i can reach the final `finish' option. While after that, it still complains about the missing plugin! It's cheating me! I've been cheated many times. :-) -- William

The swf-player package contains a free flash player and a mozilla plugin. It does not support all featuers of flash, but it is still better than nothing. AFAIK there is no support for the proprietary flash player on ppc-linux. Gaudenz signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi, Firefox complains "Install Missing Plugins" now and then, though as directed, i installed it, but it still complains. Looking into `~/.mozilla/plugins', i found that libflashplayer.so is built on Intel 80386, so there's still no support in linuxppc arch ? -- William
