Hi blah123,
Welcome to the LinuxForums.
which Linux distro do you have? open Terminal/Konsole ( search in Menu ) and execute this
if you have Debian based distro then rpm will not work and you have to download .deb format of adobe flash player.Code:cd Desktop su - rpm -ivh <flash_rpm_name>
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Linux help reply
Well, I have yellow dog 5.0 for the playstation 3 and I installed wifi on it so now i have internet, but I cant go onto flash games or flash-related websites, but I thought i could download it m anually, then the link brought me to the adobe website and I downloaded the rpm. I double click on the rpm downloaded on my desktop and it installs perfectly and successfully, but I cant seem to activate it on firefox. But yet its still installed because I can see iti nside the add/remove programs list. How do I activate it?
