New Flash Player Closes Security Vulnerability

Hi,

You can run the Flash Player preview natively -- it works but remember it is pre-release software. You only need to run Safari in Rosetta if you encounter problems with your general internet surfing or you want to use Breeze Presenter.

Please read the provided FAQ for more information about Flash Player support for Intel-based Macs.

You know it's funny. I remember when Adobe actually gave too monkeys about the Mac community. Shame on them. *shakes his head in disgust*

Macromedia... sorry Adobe... have just released an update to the intel version.

Apparently you still have to run Safari in Rosetta mode for it to work though. Works fine with Firefox :)

Ok, here's what you do to get your Intel Flash player plugin back:

1) Download Pacifist from Macupdate.com.
2) Put the first Installer/Restore DVD into your optical drive.
3) Launch Pacifist. Consider paying Charles for his excellent software.
4) Use Pacifist to navigate to the Essentials.pkg and view the contents of the package. You'll see the standard OS X folder structure.
5) Arrow open the /Libary/Internet Plugins folder.
6) You'll see in there the Flash Player.plugin "folder". Remember that in OS X many programs are actually bundled folders of data.
7) Choose to extract the Flash Player.plugin to your desktop. You might optionally choose to install it from here, but I like extracting first.
8) Now move the wrong PPC version of the Flash Player.plugin you installed out of /Library/Internet Plugins. And move the newly-extracted one into this folder.
9) Restart any browsers you have running. You might also restart your computer or at least logout/back in. I'm not entirely sure when the Internet plugins load (though I suspect it's at browser launch, not login).

Note: I have not tested this. I'd be interested in knowing if it works. I don't believe Flash Player installer installs anything other than this plugin, so replace it above, as described, should work.

I haven't found anything close to "Internet Plugins" on either of the DVDs. Still looking, though.

Yeah, anyone want to send me the original package? I don't have my install discs with me and won't have them until Saturday... Blah, I hate it when I only read the article's title and then compulsively click the links ;)

Well so much for the flash player on my MacBook...
I can't grab my CD until later tonight, is there any way to fix this without them?

Ditto

Installed and is working fine. I have no idea why other people are having problems. Firefox, comeon! Stay with apple. If you want a better browser use safari with saft.
