    Hi
    Big problem...managed to get firefox 3 working but alas....no flash! Tried installing the manual way from adopes homepage but came back as " already installed"......
    what to do?
    Lots of webpages about this issue, but none on fedora 8.... or what?

    Did you follow Macles guide for installing FF3, located here?:

    http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/07/inst ... e-one.html

    Specifically this step?:
    Code:
    The next step links all plug-ins (not to be confused with extensions) to it. They can be disabled individually from within Firefox 3 now in case you don't want to use them all.
    
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* /opt/firefox/plugins
