Mozilla crashes when trying to play streaming music from web site

My sound card is working on my rh9 system but as the title suggest when I try to play streaming music from a web site the browser crashes. It appears the application/x-shockwave-flash default plug-in is not installed. Is that causing the problem? Any suggestions and instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for being there.

Could you point me in the right direction on how to switch to firefox?

to download the installer. The version you need will be detected by the website and displayed to right on the front page.

Installing will involve untaring the file, and running the installer.

And RPM package would be easier, but I wasn't able to find any for RedHat 9, seeing as that's quite an old version of Red Hat.

apparently, once you untar the file - thats it. In older versions there was an install script.

You should be able to just type ./firefox -- OR you can make a desktop icon for it, linking to the path in which the file "firefox" exists.
