SWFUploader and Firefox in Linux

Good news all you Linux Liferay users/developers!

With the most recent release of Adobe Flash Player (Version: 9,0,115,0), the new multi-file uploader available in the portal now works in Linux.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10, and though there isn't a .deb yet, I just couldn't wait anymore. I downloaded the .tar.gz package, followed the instructions and voilà, it worked!

Note: I just installed it as a user, so it dropped the plugin in the ${HOME}/.mozilla/plugins folder. BUT, I did rename the xpti.dat file to xpti.dat.OLD, just in case it didn't work.
