When was that? http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelations/adobeandmacromedia.html I'd look at that except I just tried to reinstall that POS Flash in a moment of aberration and now not only do active _link_s not work but I can't even load Firefox directly. Adobe and Macromedia were made for each other. That happens all the time. You picked the wrong version to make your symbolic _link_ to. HAHAHAHA!!! If this were windows you would have to reformat your disk and reinstall windows and wait 3 days while all the security patches got installed and then reboot 3 or 2 times whilst macromedia added itself to your package of surveillors. With Linux, you have two options: Read the instructions and choose the correct plug-in for the version of firefox you have, OR try different plug-ins (systematically or randomly as you prefer) until firefox restarts properly. No need to start from scratch. You don't even have to log out or become the superuser! LOL.
