I'm not sure which version of firefox or flash she is on. Though I suspect it is the x86_64 version of each. We didn't specify when installing, only typed "yum install firefox" and "yum install flashplugin". I'll have to get back to you tomorrow about the '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup' deal.
I called her and told her to drop 'libflashplayer.so' in '.mozilla/plugins/'. This got the video on youtube to play, but not sound. Also, I don't know what javascript and java are in relation to flash plugins. I know they are programming languages but that's it. Could there be a problem here too? Thank you for all the suggestions. If you have anymore, please let me know.

As far as I know, 10.1 does not have a 64bit release. Version 10.0.45.2 does have a 64bit release: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html > > She is using Fedora 12 x86_64 with kde4.

One directory which firefox checks is ~/.mozilla/plugins You can simply download the 64bit flash tar.gz file, extract and place the .so file in that directory. It is not a system-wide installation though. -- -------------------------------------------------------_------------------ Jonathan D.
