Hmm. Thanks, i had tried this before but it still didnt work andi thought i must have done something wrong, but now im more confused.

I did this and it shows up as installed. But its not working in Firefox. (Which is why i thought it wasnot working at all.) But it IS working in Epiphany and Opera. I dont think i have anything in Firefox preventing Flash from working, and it was working before this latest change...is there
any reason why it would be failing in one browser but OK in the others?

Thanks!
