Mozilla - Flash content

How do you get Flash content to play in Mozilla? When I go to Macromedia's website, it doesn't recognize the browser as something it supports.

So I downloaded the Netscape plugin (since Netscape is based on Mozilla) and put it in my Mozilla/Plugins directory. No luck, it looks for Netscape.exe.

Strange, Flash works on my copy of Mozilla. Did you download the talkback enabled .exe?

Have you guys tried opera? If so how does it compare?

Ok, now it works for some reason. I haven't done anything to it since I made this post, and I haven't even restarted my computer since then.

Damn I hate this browser.

Opera is an awesome browser, it's very stable and (according to Damian) is the most up to date with WC3 html standards. Unfortunately, there are few web sites that care about those standards so some pages don't look as good as they do in IE.

It also seems to take less time to load. Anyone with a slower system that can comfirm that?

Unfortunately, after a recent hard drive format I made the mistake of installing IE6 and now I can't make posts on UBB's because something is wrong with my cookie settings. I have to use Mozilla, Opera won't even work (which shocked the hell out of me!)
