I'm having problems viewing sites with Shockwave Flash graphics using Mozilla 1.0 running on a Debian Woody base. I've downloaded the latest Linux version for the Macromedia site and installed it in ~$HOME/.mozilla/plugins but Mozilla just locks up when I try and load a .swf file.

IIRC correctly there is a debian package for playing shockwave files, try apt-cache search shockwave. Of course it may not be in Woody so you may have to look at getting a couple of bits from testing.

Try installing swf-player. It's a new package, so you'll have to get it from sid, but since it largely just bundles the mozilla plugin I'd expect it to be okay.

Having said that, since it crashes rather than just not loading you may have a binary-compat issue or some other thing beyond my ken ;-)
