Flash can be autoinstalled by going to Apps>Net>Browsers>Get Firefox Flash Plugin if that hasn't changed.I went to addons.mozilla.org and downloaded the most recent flash today. Untarred it, ran the installer and worked fine.
Don't see the Get Firefox Flash Plugin anywhere now in the menu. I know I have installed it before automatically but didn't see that option anywhere today and going to the mozilla site didn't show any automated procedure but the download and install was quite painless.

This ia all: Apps>Net>Browsers>Get Firefox
there is no option: Get Firefox Flash PluginDownload the flash installer:
open a terminal and cd to the location of the file (if you installed it in /home/dsl you should already be there). Type the following
tar -xzf install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz
then type
cd install_flash_player_7_linux ./flashplayer-installer
Follow the instructions and when you are done it should be installed. Open firefox and in the address window type:
about:plugins
and the installed plugins will be listed.That did the trick brianw thanks for the great input.
Does anybody know where to get Macromedia Shockwave for linux or how to overcome web pages to tel me that I'm missing a plug in?Next Page...
