Installing Flash plugin for Firefox in Slackware
I set this up on Slackware Linux 12.2, so newer and older versions may do things differently.
Method
Download the flash player compressed installer from Adobe: install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
Decompress the installer:
gunzip install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
Untar the file:
tar -xvf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar
change into the flash9
directory
cd flash9
Stop Firefox:
Run the installer script (Change the install directory from /usr/lib/mozilla
to /usr/lib/firefox
when prompted):
bash flashplayer-installer
Restart Firefox, and you're done! - You can check if it works by going to Adobe's site.
