1. I've encountered several websites that have media needing Adobe's Flash.
"Pipedreams" is one. I can't at the moment recall others. What is the best
Fedora (and/or Firefox) alternative for Flash? And how do I get Firefox to launch that
application rather than Flash when the host website calls for Flash?
There is no alternative right now. There was an attempt at an
open-source flash replacement, but I can't remember what it was called
and it doesn't seem to be in Fedora any longer. Mozilla was working on
a JS-based flash replacement, but they have recently abandoned it as well.
See
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/10217/sticky-how-do-i-install-adobe-flash-on-fedora/
for your options on installing the flash player.
2. I also occasionally have to fill in a pdf form. In windows, Adobe's Reader
used to handle that. Reader no longer fills in forms. What is the best Fedora
application for both viewing and filling in pdf forms? What about a Firefox
add-on?
Evince (document viewer) works great for viewing pdfs and generally
works ok with filling forms.
3. The National Weather Service weather RADAR displays have the option to do
looping and zooming. But those features need Java. I have Java installed and
up-to-date, but Firefox doesn't find it. I haven't found a way to tell Firefox
to use Java or where it is. How do I do that?
Make sure you have the "icedtea-web" package installed.
4. Earlier in this thread, Samuel recommended that I activate a flag
"mozilla_plugin_can_network_connect)" in selinux. I'm not familiar with
selinux (I'm just a home user struggling to be his own sys-admin.). How do I do that?
