Try this:

I have re-start mY PC however when I go to youtube or something similiar it gives me the error the JavaScript is turned off or I have an old version of flash? Any suggestions? I use FireFox Web Browser Note: should I delete the one I down load to my desktop (flash Player 9) Thank you! |
Sorry but it's really looks like you just can't extract files from archive.
look libflashplayer.so (10) libflashplayer.so(9) Just copy lybflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ it must be looks almost like this: HTML Code:
ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins/ |
