Firefox: where do i put a plugin library file?
Hello,
I am using linux (Debian). i have a file i have kept, since a few years ago, to use in pages which need flash plugin. The file name is libflashplayer.so. I used it, in a machine that is not around me anymore, and now i want to have it again. Where do i put this file to make pages which have SWF content work? Two options: can i put it somewhere inside my user profile? (people here should know if this is possible, i guess) Or must i put in in a system folder, to work? If more than one, which ones? |
I don't have Debian, but I assume this advice will work

libflashplayer.so is part of Adobe Flash. Download the Flash *.tar.gz file, extract it, then, as root, copy libflashplayer.so to the Mozilla plugins directory (usually /usr/lib[64]/mozilla/plugins).
Note that Adobe will end support for Flash at the end of this year. |
The flash plugin must be installed separatedly for each browser we have? This is so strange.

Do not know if that works for chrome/chromium etc too. But anyway chrome/chromium needs a pepper (PPAPI) plugin, not a NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) version of flash. |
