Flash in Mozilla 1.2b
X config

Flash in Mozilla 1.3

Goes into $MOZILLA_HOME/plugins/. You should have two files there ShockwaveFlash.class and libflashplayer.so. For me, I installed mozilla 1.3 into /usr/local/mozilla-1.3, so the dir is /usr/local/mozilla-1.3/plugins/. This was not true in older versions (eg Mozilla 1.1), in this case the files appeared in /usr/local/mozilla/ (or the install directory).

You can get the latest version of flash from MacroMedia.

Here - Note the download instructions on the page.
Test it here - You should see 4 blue-ish buttons that say "Check this out! Flash Buttons!". (you may need to restart your browser after the install).

Here is the configuration file for my X server.
