Flash upgrade or other browser

[Bloemetjesgordijn]

Hi,

can you help me.

If I open an youtube link in Zimbra, I get a comment that I need to update flash.

I have 2 questions:
- how do I get Zimbra to use another browser (FireFox or Opera)
- how do I get Zimbra to update flash

System: Ubuntu 8.10 x64

Zimbra uses your default browser. If Internet Explorer is your default, links will open there. If it's Firefox, it'll open there.

- how do I get Zimbra to update flash

Zimbra itself won't update Flash. Flash is a separate program from Adobe. You'll have to go to Adobe to get the latest version of Flash.

Hope this helps!

I am sorry to say it doesnt (not in my case at least)

If I open a link in an Email (in Zimbra), it doesnt start Firefox (for instance I dont get an adressbar). And in my default browser (firefox) I can play flash thingies, and in Zimbra it says I need to update.

I will try to set my default browser to Opera, and see what happens

PS I am using Ubuntu 8.10, therefore IE is banned :-)

That is a problem with your operating system not opening the correct browser from a link, the flash problem is also nothing to do with Zimbra.

You still may need to update your Flash for some websites to work properly. If your version is old enough, youtube may not work.

Also check that your Firefox is the latest version. I can click links in emails and they work fine. But I agree with Phoenix, I highly doubt Zimbra is the problem for you.

I bet when he says "Zimbra wants a new flash", he's actually using zDesktop and it's zDesktop's brower (aka Prism) that says so.

Correct I am using zDesktop. I have chnaged in Ubuntu my default from Firefox to Opera (both play flash).

And still as soon as I click on a email, a new screen opens (without addressbar, or navigatioin things) or when I click on a YouTube link in an email it wants a new flash version.

Help is higly appreciated.

I'm using ubuntu and opening links in firefox works fine for me. Unfortunately I don't know enough about how ubuntu registers default browsers.

Try this. Use terminal and vi to edit any text file with a url. On Ubuntu any http url in vi text editor in terminal will be highlighted. Try click that. See if it opens into your default browser.

sorry for the late reply

I made a test file with a few http://urls and opened it with vi

When I hover with my cursor on the http://url the cursor changes (indicating I can click it) However when I click it nothing happens

Weird...:-)

Have you tried "ctrl-click"?
