Flash plugin downloading location problem

Question

Well, like alot of people - I've had problems ever since I
installed Flash player 9. I tried out different browsers, but none
would work, only on safari. I later found out why my videos got
stuck and the browser died having me to restart for it to function
properly. There is a new plug in that has been made for Firefox 2.0
(I'm not sure about the other browsers, since I've decided to stick
with 2.0)
This is the site:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash
Note this paragraph:
quote:
Starting with Flash 9.0.r45 the Flash plugin installer for
Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers no longer copies files to
the browser plugins folder and, instead, adds the needed plugin
files NPSWF32.dll flashplayer.xpt and other related files to the
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash folder and adds a Windows
registry entry that enables each browser to detect Flash via plugin
scanning using a PLID scan
Hope that should solve your problems.
Well anyway, my problem is, I did the above thing^ but since
I had Opera installed before, whenever I uninstall and re-install
Flash, it always gets stored in the opera folder even though Its
deleted.
This is what happens when i install the plugin:

Can someone tell me how I can change the location to Firefox?
thanks alot.

Try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player.

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.
