macromedia flashplayer won´t work in Mozilla Firefox-2 Fedora Core 6
I´ve installed the plug-in with the browser pop-up, downloaded it from Adobe, manually installed it. And I´ve uninstalled then reinstalled with all the above methods. I never get error messages but it never seems to take. ICQ chat has been my test page & it has never worked. Occasionally Linuxmail shows me the pop-up & sometimes it seems to work. I´ve used the latest versions of EVERYTHING to no avail. Anyone else had this problem?

How did you install firefox2?
Where do you have the flash plugin? What does about:plugins show? What is the output of: # rpm -qa | grep firefox # rpm -q flash-plugin # ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ |
I have the same problem. Here is my setup on FC6:
rpm -qa | grep fire firefox-1.5.0.7-7.fc6 I dont have a rpm installed for flash - downloaded some install file from http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ libtotem-basic-plugin.so libtotem-gmp-plugin.so libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so libtotem-basic-plugin.xpt libtotem-gmp-plugin.xpt libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.xpt libtotem-complex-plugin.so libtotem-mully-plugin.so libtotem-complex-plugin.xpt libtotem-mully-plugin.xpt |
Launch firefox from a console to get error messages
Good Evening,
Have you tried to launch firefox from a console ? I have the same problem, so I tried to get error messages by launching firefox in the console and surf a website that required flashplayer. In a console, just type: Code:
# cd /path/to/firefox Code:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/firefox2/plugins/libflashplayer.so - When I look at about:plugins, I do not get any result even though the files are in their right place. - I used the mozilla official executable to install my firefox 2 in /opt/firefox2 - I do not have flash installed as an rpm - I do have firefox 1.5 installed as an rpm, I want to keep it if it is possible, for CSS/HTML testing. If someone understands something, I will be pleased to hear about it. Thank you in advance, All the Best, Evren K. |
Are you using the 64 bit version of firefox? [HELP->About Firefox] If so download and install nspluginwrapper. This allow the use of 32 bit plugins(flash) with 64 bit firefox.

Hello,
It may seem odd, but I don't know for sure. I don't think so but... My about:buildconfig doesn't mention it. On the about: page my build identifier is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/2006101022 Firefox/2.0". All the Best, Evren K. |
Hello,
I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure. My build identifier looks like this "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/2006101022 Firefox/2.0". All the Best, Evren K. P.S: I'm really sorry for this double post. It's a stupid mistake, I thought my previous message didn't work. Is there a way to delete this post ? |
I had the same Problem...Its been resolved..I'll get back to you guy's tomorrow morning since I'm using FC5 at home.YOu need to cp it in your .firefox(plugin),or is it .mozilla.

evrenk - The error your getting is not 32 v 64 bit related. It looks like a file permission thing.

Thank you !
Hello !
Yeeesss ! Thank you very much ! It is indeed a file permission thing but I couldn't fix it until I changed the SELinux politics to "permissive". It is not ideal, but now it works. Thank you ! All the Best, Evren K. |
