Installing Flash Player 9 Under Firefox 2
Source based on: Installing Flash 9 Beta on Ubuntu | Guide for Mozilla Firefox 1.5

Assuming you successfully installed Firefox 2 , follow the link above until you reach the 'sudo mv' step.

In the Terminal, instead type

sudo cp flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.78/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
sudo mv flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.78/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 Kiosk Mode
06/29/05

Modified original browser.xul file in order to minimized features to only what is necessary for a typical kiosk browser (such as a library OPAC setting). Fullscreen feature is still supported.

To modify the Graphical contents, extract the contents of the Jar file to a directory using a Zip program. The browser.xul file is located in the ("content/browser") subdirectory. To finish, zip the contents of the main ("content") folder into another browser.jar file and copy it to the program's ("chrome") directory

Place the JAR file in your C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome directory (Windows) after you have installed Firefox.
