donkey42 · 18-12-2006, 06:36 PM

try installing flash 7 into Swiftfox directory (/opt/swiftfox) but flash won't work

Off Topic:

i can't find anything related to telling Swiftfox where flash is, i've also tried installing into FF directory - no luck

There are 3 ways to install Flash (or any plugins for Firefox).

Install it in the global mozilla plugins directory. On most systems, this is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
Install it in the Firefox (Swiftfox) only plugin directory, e.g. /opt/swiftfox/plugins/
Install it on the local profile for a single user only, e.g. ~/.mozilla/plugins/

thanks, i'll install to all 3 locations, 1 by 1 and try it after each 1

right, fixed it, none of install locations you suggested worked, but when i did a manual install (copy flashplayer.xpt & libflashplayer.so) to /opt/swiftfox/plugins and i chose skip when prompted (file were not visible, but are now)

Swiftfox is just an optimized build of Firefox. In other words, it is Firefox, but built architecture-specific so it'll run faster on those systems. Otherwise, there is no difference at all.

P.S. - Flash 7 barely works for anything these days, you might be better off with the Linux beta of Flash 9: Adobe Labs - Downloads: Flash Player 9 Update

Which means Firefox = Swiftfox
So Logically, your new name Should be Firefox42 coz it is more popular

You only say that out of jealousy since you can't run Swiftfox on Windows.
