Adobe released the Flash Player 9 plugin for Linux<\/a> this week.  I downloaded it and tried it under identical software configs (FC5 & Firefox 1.5.0.7) on two different machines.  I tried viewing my two favorite sites that contain Flash content:  ABC's Lost <\/a> and SciFi.com's Battlestar Galactica<\/a> .  With the old Flash 7 plugin both sites would load except for the Flash content.  With the Flash Player 9 both sites load but then essentially lock up the browser.  It's not a hard lock up – moving the scroll bar does work if you wait a few seconds for the browser to respond.  I notice no network activity during this time which means I don't think it's a matter of downloading the content.  It's something in the player.<\/p>\n

I'm appreciative of Adobe working on the player for Linux users though I wish their Beta program had included some way to provide feedback.  I don't see any information on the download site.  … Hang on a tick.  It looks like you need to go to the PreRelease<\/a> site to report problems.  I guess I'll head over there and offer what little I found.  Maybe they have some debugging suggestions.<\/p>\n

Looks like the place to provide feedback is on the feedback form.<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
