Having used flash-aid previously I installed it on 11.04_x64 without having any way to set preferences. No wizard. Firefox 5.0. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.
Please disregard my earlier comment-I simply needed to place my ‘flash-aid’ toolbar button!
Currently the Flash-Aid has been removed by the author. There’s alternative ways to fix this?
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I can play YouTube vidiews and other swf files but Facebook and Adobe say I don’t have flash player installed. Any thoughts? Is there an alternative to Flash-Aid now that it is gone?
