What I mean is that puppybrowser plays flash videos without a problem, but ff11 does not play flash videos at all.

I'm running shockwave flash v.11.1.102r, what if I upgraded this?
Firefox auto-update got messed up, in version 7 & 8, so this could be causing your problems.
You can get a good Firefox 11 here:

I am using Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-004
Firefox11(above link)
The latest "Adobe Flash Player" by using "menu->internet->Install Flashplayer" (basically same program as "Getflash") to install "Flash player".
Works fine for me.

When all else fails you could always delete "Firefox" and "Flash player" and reinstall.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

its just a blank black space where the video should be showing that I've got now. Do you know bigpup if that ff version will copy my bookmarks, settings etc over from my existing ff?

If you download it and install, it should just install over the "Firefox" you have. It should (Key Word Should) retain the old bookmarks and settings. Nothing is 100% sure with computer software updating. It did work for me.

Could you post a link to something you have tried to view.

If Firefox seems to work OK and none of the Firefox settings are blocking the Flash Player from working, I would uninstall Flash Player and reinstall.

Does not uninstall cleanly. PPM say it is successful but it still
shows that I have it installed.

Should I manually delete the directories?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

PPM?
Have you rebooted?

May have it listed in PPM installed packages listing more than once. If so, keep uninstalling each one listed.

As last resort. But do need to be careful.
Nothing to do with "Adobe Flash Player" ever seems to be simple! :shock: :roll: :lol:

Yes that was what I did. I had three there and all of them said
them had uninstalled successfully and where still there in PPM
So I gave up on it. I try another computer instead. That one is
faulty in other ways too. Fail to boot usb and faulty DVD.

So not worth all the effort

I was *hinting* you look into updating your video cards driver..

"Code deciphering was not one of my modules in college."

Furthermore, you might try this route for functional Flash..

*And should you decide to fall back- recovery's easy.
