OK, I can't get it to fail on me.
First question, for all of those who are having this problem.  Have you 
completely exited out of firefox and seamonkey?  I don't just mean one window, 
but all of firefox?

Second question, if the above answer was yes, can you send me information on 
how you setup your adobe plugin's?  Did you do it by hand?  Whet directory is 
the plugin in?  If it is a link, can you send me the full output of ls -l on 
the plugin.

Thanks
Troy
