How do I get the flash player plugins and other files and apps to actually work that I have loaded into the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory in Roxterm? I can see them when I use the ~/.mozilla/plugins dir command but they are not being installed and activated because when I check my Add-ons list in the browser, they aren't there and I still get the missing flash plugin message when I try to watch streaming video.
You need to tell us which distro you use when you ask a question.
I've got $HOME/.mozilla/plugins, but there's nothing in it. Normally, the plugin goes in somewhere like /usr/lib/adobe, /usr/lib/flashplugin, or /usr/lib/mozilla (although Mint cunningly hides it in /opt). If you install the plugin from a package in a repository, it should go in the right place automatically.
