Linux users have been waiting for a very very very very (1 million more very’s here) long time for Adobe to come up with Flash player 9 for Linux. Until now, we Linux users are officially bound to Flash player 7 only, or are we?
If you’re up to it my dear Linux user, you can go ahead and try Flash Player 9 beta for Linux. I tried it and it works fine. Here’s how to set it up as a plugin for Firefox.
- Download Flash Player 9 for Linux here – http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html
- Extract the contents of the downloaded file
- Copy the libflashplayer.so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ directory
- You may also want to copy libflashplayer.so to your /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ directory as well
- Restart Firefox.
Note that paths may vary on different flavors of Linux. Let me know if you got it working.
This is a beta version. Have anyone noticed any problems with it?
I am not a big fan of flash anyway – Flash 7 is good enough for now – the only use I for flash is YouTube and Google Analytics. I will delay installing this upgrade until they release a stable version.
Even though it may be a few years before they do that.
Hi,
I wanted to install flash player to my motorola E6 ROKR mobile. Can I do this? if yes, how do i go about with it?
Please help

Hi Sudhir!
I too have a Motorola E6 Motorokr but I haven’t tried installing flash 9 on it yet. As of how to do it, I suggest that you browse a website that requires flash 9 and see if Opera auto-installs it. Not sure if it’ll work though.
