    Hi folks,
    It seems that since I've downloaded Firefox, I can't seem to get sites using Flash to work correctly. It hasn't asked me to download anything, and the sites worked fine while I was using Earthlink's browsers. Any ideas?


    Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. Anyone want to delete this?

    glad you figured it out before you decided to go back to internet explorer (Heavens Forbid!!)

    you will find that Mozilla is a much better piece of software.

    For those who are wondeing what the answer was, you'll need to download the flash installer. This installer detects all versions of alternate browsers (i.e. Mozilla, Firefox, poss Opera, etc.) and installs the plugin there.

    Similar deal with Java - you'll need to download the installer for that so that it's appropriate plugin gets installed too.

    For the advanced user, it's the Plugins directory inside the Firefox program directory (location and name varies by OS).

    I only use IE now in dire instances when the site just won't open in Firefox due to some ignorant coder who believes in coding only for a broken browser... :-P
