Re: Adoble Flash troubles on 9.2-RELEASE

If you really need to visit sites that need Adobe Flash, you perhaps should use the google-chrome browser. For some websites with flash content, we don't need flash anymore, just modern HTML5 capable web browsers. For *nix there never will be a current version for flashplayer again. __
