Flashplayer and Spellcheck only work as root.....

I am VERY new to Arch....

Recently just installed and things are going well....except for a few glitches....

I installed Flashplayer and spellcheck (among other things) with pacman....

Upon doing so I realized that flash etc. are ONLY available in "root"

I try installing them in my user "donald" and no dice...It says its already installed...but I cant use it? (youtube...etc..)

any suggestions?

Thanks
Donald

Re: Flashplayer and Spellcheck only work as root.....

sounds like the file permissions are wrong in the /feirfox/plugins folder

if you made a firefox user/group change them to that
or change them toy your normal user.

most of these plugins need to be able to wright to the firefox folder .
