Give away "/media/win_c2/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash/flashplayer.xpt" this is from Windows system. Run this command from console as root:
Code:
rm /usr/share/mozilla/plugins/*flash*.so
rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*.so
rm /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/*flash*.so
rm /home/your_username/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*.so
rm /home/your_username/.mozilla/firefox/*/plugins/*flash*.so
Where '/home/your_username' is your home directory. Some files will not be found, ignore it. Then reinstall flash from Adobe site. I am using this version and it work, however this is test version for 64 bit Linux systems. Uncompress downloaded file and copy as root to directory '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/'. Restart Firefox and check on Plugins menu if you have only one version of flash v10.1.

Thanks eSelix

In the 'share' folder, there is no ' /mozilla/plugins '.
I looked at the folders in 'share' folder.


................................................
[root@localhost ~]# rm /usr/share/mozilla/plugins/*flash*.so
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/mozilla/plugins/*flash*.so': No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#



...................................................
[root@localhost lib]# cd mozilla
[root@localhost mozilla]# ls
plugins/
[root@localhost mozilla]# cd plugins
[root@localhost plugins]# ls
libflashplayer.so@ libskypebuttons.so*
[root@localhost plugins]# rm *flash*.so
rm: remove symbolic link `libflashplayer.so'? y
[root@localhost plugins]#
The above worked.
....................................................



[root@localhost ~]# rm /home/nissanka/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*.so
rm: cannot remove `/home/nissanka/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*.so': No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#

There is no '.mozilla' folder in /home/nissanka.
My user name is 'nissanka'.

And what about
Code:
rm /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/*flash*.so
You found one of flash versions. But you had second somewhere. After removing files and restarting firefox check menu plugins if there are any flashplayer, it shouldn't. I don't known where else these flash libraries can be. If you not found it, create another account and from this new account run Fierefox and check plugins menu, to check if these files are in user directory or system. After then, when you will not have any versions of flash, you can install the newest version.

Thanks eSelix for taking time to reply me again.

As a root user, the command 'find' should find the files. Why didn't it find them?

There is no 'mozillla-firefox' in 'lib' folder.

I restarted the computer several times.

I looked at 'Add-ons' .

Shock Wave Flash 9.0 r999 and 10.1 r85 are still there.

You suggested creating another account. What is it? I don't know about these things.

None of the following site works now. So I am in trouble.

Maybe this extension to firefox can help you. It is for Ubuntu, but may will work for you.

Can you put this address
Code:
about:plugins
in your browser and post output here?

And also in the console:
Code:
nspluginwrapper -l
If something with "flash" in name will be printed, delete these files.

Check in plugins menu if you have any flash related plugin, after that.

Shockwave Flash

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

nissanka@localhost ~]$ nspluginwrapper -l
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin: /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

Run this:
Code:
nspluginwrapper -r /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
And delete these files, if you have it:
Quote:
rm /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
rm /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
And then check again "nspluginwrapper -l" and plugins menu. If you will get nothing with word "flash" in name, then extract http://download.macromedia.com/pub/l..._092710.tar.gz and copy to "/usr/lib64/firefox-addons/plugins"

What version of Firefox you have got? I have 3.6.11 and that flash plugin v10.2 d161. It is beta, but is real 64bit. If it will also not work, give me response, I have one more idea.

The following worked fine:
[nissanka@localhost ~]$ su root
Password:
[root@localhost nissanka]# nspluginwrapper -r /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[root@localhost nissanka]#



The following didn't work:
[root@localhost nissanka]# rm /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so': No such file or directory
[root@localhost nissanka]#


The following worked fine too:
[root@localhost nissanka]# rm /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
rm: remove regular file `/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'? y
[root@localhost nissanka]#

The version number of the Firefox is 3.6.8.

--------------------------------------------------------
In lib64, I found the firefox.

[nissanka@localhost lib64]$ cd firefox-3.6.8/
[nissanka@localhost firefox-3.6.8]$ ls
application.ini
components/
firefox-rebuild-databases.pl*
README.txt
blocklist.xml
defaults/
icons/
removed-files
browserconfig.properties
extensions/
LICENSE
run-mozilla.sh*
chrome/
firefox*
modules/
searchplugins/
[nissanka@localhost firefox-3.6.8]$
-------------------------------------

In the folder 'searchplugins', I found the following:
[nissanka@localhost firefox-3.6.8]$ cd searchplugins
[nissanka@localhost searchplugins]$ ls
amazondotcom.xml
askcom.xml
eBay.xml
google.xml
wikipedia.xml
answers.xml
creativecommons.xml
exalead.xml
jamendo.xml
yahoo.xml
[nissanka@localhost searchplugins]$

What shall I do now?

Check menu Tools/Plugins in Firefox. If you have not flash, then install it by your package system, for example in Ubuntu I have "flashplugin-installer" which use 32bit version of flash player provided by Adobe (it work with "nspluginwrapper"), or use link from my previous post to 64bit version.

I did what you suggested.

In Mandriva you find 'System Tools'. Under it you will find 'Configure Your Computer'.

In that dialogue you will find 'install and remove software'.

This is the place to install new programs. So I installed the Firefox 3.6.11.


Now I have the following version of Firefox.
3.6.11 for Linux x86_64


I had 3.6.8. Now it is 3.6.11


The following site is dead. So problems are still there though I got the latest version of the Firefox.
http://svenskaspel.se/?pageid=/svenskaspel/startsida

The following YouTube site is dead too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjndTXyk3mw

Generally all the YouTube sites don't work now. It worked before.
