Hmm... you did completely re-start Firefox, right ? Any chance that you have more than one instance of Firefox running ??

OK, let's try another approach; please post:
ls -lha /usr/lib/firefox*

V

[bigmomma04]

is there a short cut to copy all ?

OK:
ls -lha /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

Assuming that you do NOT see libflashplugin.so listed, then:
sudo cp /home/eeedora/Desktop/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

(Re)start web browser, and assess. You must re-start any open browser apps to see new plug-ins.

Hmm... you did completely re-start Firefox, right ? Any chance that you have more than one instance of Firefox running ??
yep even restarted the computer....

[bigmomma04]

cp /home/eeedora/Desktop/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
showed no such file or directory

[bigmomma04]

yes, its says cp: cannot create regular file /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ no such file or directory

[Hlingler]

Oof! Try:
sudo cp /home/eeedora/Desktop/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/plugins/

V

[bigmomma04]

goes too [root@Eee ~}#

[Hlingler]

Then the copy (cp) command (silently) succeeded. Re-start Firefox and assess....

[bigmomma04]

It worked ! ! ! !
I am so happy, if I could reach through this computer and kiss you I would ! ! !
you have just made a beautiful little girl so happy
Thank you thank you thank you ! ! !
Thanks to everyone who tried to help

[bigmomma04]

one last question....
is there any free anti virus or computer cleaning programs I should download to keep her computer clean, running smooth and virus free?
Thanks again for all your hard work, you all are awesome !

[Hlingler]

The standard Linux anti-virus software is clamav (standard Fedora repos: sudo yum install clamav), but in reality: there is little need, since there are no known Linux viruses "in the wild". Most of us keep anti-virus software only to manage our e-mails (and then only for the benefit of our friends, so we don't inadvertantly pass on viruses to them) and M$ Win* docs. Much more important is running a basic firewall, and avoiding unnecessary use of root privilege when running common apps.

Not having to fret over viruses and malware, nor having to defrag HDDs (virtually never required - there are not even utilities for this task), are some of the biggest advantages to Linux, IMHO.

P.S. Clamav does not provide constant "on access" scanning (nor do I know of any other A-V apps that do): you must specifically open it and tell it to scan stuff.
