Where exactly do I need to copy the libflashplayer.so after downloading the current Mozilla Firefox version? I'm getting conflicting information after doing some research.

Some say copy the file in the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins directory
Others say /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory

I know the two examples above is just a 64bit difference but my 64bit machine also has the "lib" directory. Does that mean I have to copy it in there as well? Am I missing anything else?

I copied the libflashplayer.so file on both directories and I still can't get it to work. I un-installed all versions and re-installed it.. no luck.

BTW I am using RHEL5.

Hi Rory Glenn Pascua,

Give a try copying it under the following locations:

/usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Thanks Terminator... I'll try that

Didn't work...

Any other suggestions?

what operating system ?
that is VERY IMPORTANT
and what VERSION of firefox
there is the standard 32 bit, and a custom 64 ( REQUIRES ALL 64 bit plugins )

the custom 64 bit build
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla..../linux-x86_64/
the std 32 bit
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

different OS's use different locations
-- 64 bit ---
/usr/lib64/browser-plugin
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins




so we do need to know what the OS is
where you put ff9.01 ( /usr/lib/FireFox9 ) is stated someplace in the documentation

however ff dose not have a "plugin" folder you can make one

John: I mentioned RHEL5 on my second post. Thanks.

so i am guessing then that it is the 32 bit firefox on 64 bit rhel5.?
type into the address bar the currently used plugins will be listed there and there location
on my 64 bit set up it is
for the 32 bit plugin put it in /usr/lib/browser-plugins/

however you might need to add a "plugins" folder to your ff directory
if so link it to /usr/lib/browser-plugins/

but seeing as this is rhel you have a paid for support contract
RHEL is not free
so you have access to the red hat knowledge base
( from the required paid fore license)
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/search
the full install instructions are in there
you will have to login to red hat to read the guides

Thanks John. Much appreciated.
