One day, I was surfing the net with my firefox. A message from adobe asked me to upgrade the flash player plugin. After followed the "easy" instruction step and completed the upgrade. Some thing bad happened, my firefox and safari cannot play the flash for me anymore. after reinstall several time, I asked help from google and found I am not alone. some ppl said that I have to find an older version plugin and install that particular version. but some how as almighty as google cannot find that older version plugins. so following is what i did with the latest adobe flash player plugin 9.0.28, and it works for me.
- Download Adobe Flash Player plugin for Intel-based Macs
- go to [/Library/Internet Plug-Ins] remove following files
- Flash Player.plugin
- flashplayer.xpt
- Flash Player Enabler.plugin
- unzip the file downloaded in step 1, and mount the dmg file
- after the dmg file is mounted, open a terminal window
- cd to following directory --
cd /Volumes/Adobe Flash Player 9
/Install Flash Player 9 UB/Contents/MacOS - And Execute the command as super user as follow
sudo ./Install Flash Player 9 UB - That's all. You might see some error messages, complaing some text file cannot be moved. just ignore it.
