I installed DSL 3.2 tonight and am using the Firefox 2.0 UCI.

The Adobe plugin does not work with DSL 3.2, it was working fine with DSL 3.01

Does anyone know why it will not work with DSL 3.2

Thanks,

John

The firefox 2.0 uci extension was built using Gtk1.2 so that it would not require additional libraries in DSL. The new version of the Flash player (v9) does not work with non-Gtk2 browsers.

You'll need to install Gtk2 and a Gtk2 version of Firefox in order to use the new version of the plugin.

I downloaded and installed gtk2-0705.dsl and now it's working.

Thanks,

You installed *only* Gtk2, or did you also need a Gtk2 browser? I don't want to continue telling people lies if it will run simply by installing Gtk2.
