If you do the following, you'll see what the proper profile is: ls $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/ In there, you'll see a directory named something that looks pretty random. That's what you want to use. You could, alternately, just cd to your profile and execute: echo "FIREFOX_DSP=\"none\"" >> rc Still, you shouldn't be having any problems with Flash and Firefox if you're using a newer distro. This is an old problem, present in 7.10. As far as I can tell, it was fixed in 8.04 and 8.10, and should also still work in 9,.04 when that comes out. The <profile> isn’t the same as your username.

I tried in terminal the first line and worked. In the second line I tried replacing "<profile>" with my user and... nothing. Is there something else that I can do to fix sound in Firefox?
