Shockwave is not available for linux

A thread here

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=136897

states that the method is (this is an old thread and I have not tested it):

about:config -> plugin.default_plugin_disabled -> false, restart

Here is a page for a petition to sign to try to get shockwave for linux:

Performed the procedure but have not tested on a site yet.  The steps are:

open firefox, in the address bar type about:config, press enter,

a list of all the configs appears and there is a filter bar.  type plugin in the filter bar to narrow the list.  double click the plugin.default_plugin_disabled line (which should say true at the end and change to false when you double click).  close firefox and start it up again (you can check to see if the change is still there but it should be).

CrossOver Office will allow you to install and use shockwave. (uses wine)

However, that product is commercial.

Unfortunately this does nothing. Still missing the libgtk-x11-2.0 file to install firefox 1.5.0.4

You will need to install Gtk2

If you did a regular harddrive install stay with the .dsl or .tgz extensions in myDSL instead of .uci's.

I would recommend the exact opposite.  tar.gz and dsl extensions are extracted into the filesystem, and since there is no package management with myDSL any problems an extension may cause cannot be easily undone.  On the other hand, uci extensions are mounted, so they can be easily unmounted if they happen to cause any trouble.
