Don't forget to copy/backup the file before editing it.

Open the file ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat
change
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63:$
to
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r63:$

My boy used to love the playhouse disney website until they changed to Flash 9. I tried this, and the disney site worked just like it always used to, games and all.

All credit goes to Malac, the ruler.

Wow, will try this out. No doubt some site's wont be viewable.

nice find. flash 7 still doesnt show flash 8 perfectly though, it is a big step up!

Didnt do anything...

Can you view Flash 9 sites?

GuitarHero

No I cant, not even 8.

Lol, this *won't* transform your flash player to version 9. This trick will only fool those sites falsly requiring flash 9 features, by bumping the version number in the pluginreg.

So if a site *really* uses features in flash 9 that doesn't work in v7, this trick won't help.

I know, just it shouldn't stop flash working altogether.

GuitarHero

Flash 8 never worked, flash 7 still does i think.
