[cw-discuss] Linux/Windows Flash player conflict

[Adrian Portway]

Hi Matt,

I had a similar problem with two versions of the Linux Flash player on the 
same system. Firefox reported versions 7 and 9. I thought I had removed 7 
before installing 9, turns out that the plugin is installed in several places 
including my profile directory "/home/adrian/.mozilla....", the plugins 
directory of the firefox install and a couple of others in /usr/lib. Once I 
removed those and ensured I only had 9 everything worked fine.

I suggest looking for references to the Windows version in your profiles 
directory or the Firefox plugins directory ( /usr/lib/firefox/plugins on my 
system), I don't know what form the reference might take so perhaps somebody 
else could help with that.

Best of luck,

Aj
