Hi Maxi,

Just in case you feel like trying this easy manual-way here are the steps:

- close Firefox
-get the latest FlashPluginv.11 from here: 
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11.html (NOTE: from this 
point on, I will assume that you have downloaded the 64-bit version for 
Linux)
- Open a Dolphin window, surf to the location on the downloaded file and 
right-click on the file "flashplayer11_rc1_install_lin_64_090611.tar.gz" 
and choose to "Extract archive here" (wait until it has completed and 
you will see a file called "libflashplayer.so" that you will need a 
little later.
-Close the Dolphin window
- open Konsole and type "su -" (this allows you to open programmes in 
super-user mode)
- type in your root password
- type "dolphin" (NOTE: if you get any error messages, just say OK to go 
on; Dolphin will eventually open)
- when Dolphin opens, you will be in Dolphin "super-user" mode
-in your Dolphin window, surf to where you downloaded the original 
flashplayer file that you downloaded (and unpacked). You will find 
libflashplayer.so. Keep this window open
- in your Dolphin window, do a Control-N (this opens a new super-user 
Dolphin window)
- in the new Window, surf to the following location: 
Root->usr->lib64->mozilla->plugins
-"click and drag" the "libflashplayer.so" file from your first Dolphin 
window and drag it to the second Dolphin window

- close all Dolphin windows (you don't want to leave any super-user 
Dolphin windows open!!!).
-start Firefox and go here to see if your player is working: 
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/  This site will also tell you 
what version of the flash plugin you are using.

To Remove the plugin, just open a super-user Dolphin window and surf to 
Root->usr->lib64->mozilla->plugins and remove "libflashplayer.so"

Cheers

Marc
