Re: Flash for my new F12/64 install
Greetings again, Would appreciate some advice on installing Flash for Firefox. TIA Get the 64bit flash plugin here (1) In the console change to the directory you downloaded the file to. Untar the file tar xvf yourflashfile.tar.gz sudo mv yourflashfile.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins or su -c mv yourflashfile.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins restart firefox and everything should be fine.
