Adobe has gotten much better about supporting Linux. But, back in the day, you had to go through a boat-load of steps to get Flash to work. You may have been following a "How To" guide that was outdated.

Sounds like a hardware issue. Is this an ancient machine?

It's a fairly up to date machine...dual core AMD 64 2.8 gig processors, 2 gigs of ram, 500 gig hd running 64 bit Kubuntu. I just uninstalled firefox. I never could fix that checkmark bug so I may have had the beta firefox3. Please tell me again how to properly install the new final firefox3 and once I get that going, I can try the plugin again. I'm here now on Konqueror.

I think what I did before was sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox
Not sure if that was the right thing to do. Maybe that's how I ended up with the beta?

You can search the Ubuntu repositories for the package you want like this:
Code:
sudo apt-cache search *package name*
To get Firefox 3:
Code:
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0

It's a Linux thing where I'm from...

Paving the way to Kubuntu unity!
