I have no such problems with Flashplayer and Firefox. Firefox version 1.5.0.3-1.1.fc5 (from latest FC5 updates) Kernel: 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma (from planetccrma) Extra Alsa packages are all from planetccrma, including "alsa-oss" the alsa emulation layer for OSS. Flash tried on http://laracameron.com/main.html . Some of her stuff needs Flash, including sounds, and it works ok. My Flashplayer install. I have Apt installed, and added to /etc/apt/sources.list rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org/ rpm macromedia I could not find a GPG key for it on their site, so after DL'ing the flash-plugin using Synaptic, you have to uncheck the verify signature box otherwise it won't install. Then ran (as root) /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup, and the Flashplayer just worked with Firefox, and no problems. I can't say much more, as it just seems to work, Nigel.
