So I've installed the flashplugin-nonfree package but for some reason flash refuses to work under Firefox. The libflashplayer.so is in the right folder and flash actually works under Chromium browser - just not Firefox.

I setup the system from a 10.04 32bit minimal CD could it just be a pakage I am missing that is causing flash not to work under Firefox? I've tried Firefox 3.6.x and 4.0 beta and flash fails in both.

Gnash/anything else of that nature is not installed on the system currently and there are no plugins listed under Firefox as installed -

Any ideas? As I said - the .so file is on the system and works under Chromium - I just much prefer firefox

Ideas?

No listing, no plug-in...

From what you write, you have not installed the plug-in for Firefox, although you have it for Chrome. You may have installed a place holder for it before it is installed. This is the sequence when installing openSUSE; the plug-in is then installed from Mozilla/Adobe.

Try to install the plug-in directly.

I placed the libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins and still nothing. Is there some where else I am suppose to place it?

Oh typos. It appears that my folder in ~/.mozilla was called plugin instead of plugins

Whoops.
