Re: flash player for firefox

Hello,

I have tried several times (using the "install missing plugins" feauture
of mozilla-firefox) to install flashplayer, no way.
It does not work.

Any hint?
There is no flash player for amd64. From http://sluglug.ucsc.edu/macromedia/faq.html: 

   *10. Where is Flash for PowerPC or x86-64 Linux?*

   It does not exist probably because Macromedia management feel there
   is no demand. Contact Macromedia
   <http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/contact/> and express your
   opinion if you truly care about this. Also buy more x86-64 hardware
   (AMD64, not the crap Intel stuff) to make the platform truly
   lucrative for software makers in a business sense.

There is libflash-swfplayer, an open-source one, but it's very, very buggy.
