hi, i got this problem with linux-firefox. I Installed it before in my KDE in FreeBSD with no problems and been able to use flash plugins. Then, I changed to Gnome recently and installed linux-firefox. Now, when I tried to install plugins by clicking on a site with a plugin requirement, I was successfully directed to "agreement" stuff but I would get an error of "No plugin installed". Now, maybe is somehow related to the errors I always get when I try to download files or open files from the linux-firefox browser like : "/tmp/<file>, could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of the folder. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location". I would appreciate if you could help me with these 2 problems. Thanks... newbeeeeeeeee ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

Thanks...And for this one, can you show "ls -l /compat/linux" and "ls -ld /var/db/pkg/linux*"?

Install flash plugin from the port. "cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7 & make install". In firefox options change the default download directory to where you can write.

Does 'ls -lad /tmp/' say something like? drwxrwxrwt 13 root wheel 1536 Nov 10 03:12 /tmp/ Ian
