There is also a work around that I came across that will work with some sites that request Flash 9.

From

http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/14/flash-9-for-xubuntu/

1) Make a back-up of the file ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat:

cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat.bak

2) Edit that file:

nano ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat

3) Replace the lines that say

Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63:$

to

Shockwave Flash 9.0 r63:$


Thanks for the trick. The bothersome site that distracted the kids to use Linux was the disneychannel.com site. The site came up with the edited file. Firefox worked somewhat but needed the old killall -9 firefox-bin after some clicking. What features they use that require Flash 9 will always be a mystery to me.

Anyway, I'm assamed to inform a kid that Windows can go to this site but Linux cannot. Hopefully a genuine Flash 9 version hits Linux soon. I don't want the kids corrupted into using windows.
