Adobe flash player 11 installed, but Firefox won't recognize it


Hello guys,

I've installed the latest adobe-flash-player on my RHEL 6.4, and I have it now in my "System > Preferences > Adobe Flash Player" so it must be correctly installed.

Problem is that Firefox doesn't recognize it. trying "aboutlugins" in firefox doesn't list any plugins.

//Firefox output
No installed plugins found
Find updates for installed plugins at mozilla.com/plugincheck

Help plz

hi EDDY1

Yes, those are the same instructions as I've taken.

Setting up Install Process
Package flash-plugin-11.2.202.406-release.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Just one question: Does it matter if I do those steps as 'root' user, while I run firefox as another user?

I do all my installations as user 'root' .. It just sounds like good practice.
