    i'm installing flash, but install is asking for the instalation path of the web browser, i have FF, Konquerer & Opera

    do i have to choose just one browser, or can i install flash into multiple browsers (do i need to install flash on each browser) ?

    How have you installed firefox? If you have downloaded the tar.gz from the website, you need to point it to the place you put it.

    If you put it in the directory /usr/local/ then the installation path would be /usr/local/firefox.

    Install flash into the path:

    Code:
    /usr/lib/mozilla
    and

    Code:
    /usr/lib/opera
    Firefox and Opera will detect the presence of Flash immediately, but Konqueror won't. For Konqueror you need to go into the settings and choose 'Plugins' down the left hand side. Then click on 'Scan for new plugins'.
