Er, Netscape 4.72 was doing Flash fine. Since an upgrade to 4.77, Netscape browser redirects me
to Macromedia to download, what seems to be an already installed Flash
Player. The Flash movie doesn't play. What else are my browsers doing?
They seem to be rendering the pages fine, excpet for flash.
Konquerer does the same; just opens a window to install the Player without
rendering the page with the movie, too. Java and Javascript is enabled.

mozilla 0.9.8 does to same. It asks me to install the Flash Player, too.
What gives? Flash was working fine before I upgraded, any suggestions?
Thanks,
