Linux – Flash Player 7 Finally

Linux users can finally download a Flash 7 Player from Macromedia (available [here][1]).

Hopefully this will clear up some of the flash-related problems I’ve been having with
Mozilla Firefox and various news sites that present flash (abcnews, espn…etc). Although, for others having similar problems with flash sites, I’d recomm
end the FlashBlock Mozilla/Mozilla Firefox extension.

From it’s website, *Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla and Firebird browsers that takes a pessemistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash c
ontent on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves a placeholder on the page that allows you to click to view the Flash content.

I must say that it works very well and improves the overall browsing experience (imho).
