Guys, I am on FC5 with Firefox 1.5.0.5. Am having some issues with flashplayer 7. I downloaded flashplayer & copied the two files required files in the firefox's pulgins folder. But it isn't working for some reason. I see blank space in place where I should be seeing flash animation. I don't get a prompt to install flashplayer either. What seems to be the issue?.

If you have installed AdBlock extension for FireFox browser then Flash animations
won't show up!! See the following link for installing Flash in Fedora 5:

I had already given this in the 'One Stop Reference for enabling Multimedia in Linux'

Not necessary, that is only if you manually block all *.swf's
