After upgrading to Fedora 8 from 7, I am no longer able to play online poker games through any of the browsers: Firefox, Galeon and Konqueror. I think it is a problem with Flash but I am not sure how to solve it.

 

The website requires both the Java Runtime Environment and Shockwave, both of which seem to be correctly installed. When I enter the "about:plugins" this is what I get:

Code:
GCJ Web Browser Plugin 1.4

File name: gcjwebplugin.so
The GCJ Web Browser Plugin executes Java applets.

When I test my java by loading this page http://www.javatester.org/version.html

I get a positive result: Java Version 1.7.0 from Sun Microsystems

 

With Shockwave, I am confused because I am able to play YouTube videos diirectly from the site without a glitch but when I load this site to test http://www.explorelearning.com/View/vCorp/shockPop.html it, I get a failure and a message that tells me to download the plugin. The link leads me to the Adobe download page but it presents me with the following message:

Code:
Shockwave Player Download Center
We are unable to locate a Web player that matches your platform and browser.

ATTENTION NETSCAPE 6 USERS:

Note: If you have Netscape 6.0, then please update to Netscape 6.1 before installing the Shockwave Player. To determine what version of Netscape you have, select the "About Communicator" option in your browser's Help Menu. Click here to update your browser to Netscape 6.1.
