flashplugin for Firefox 64bit
 

I know this question is asked many times, I myself has asked this for Fedora 10. Now i have newly installed Debian Lenny 64 bit and having the same problem.

I installed the mozilla-flashplayer from www.debian-multimedia.org, it didnt work

Downloaded 64 bit plugin and copied the .so file to /usr/local/lib64/mozilla/plugins didnt work.


also tried copiying it to ~/.mozilla/plugins. that is also not working .

is there any other way ....

I am new to Debian ....

You can use the flashplugin-nonfree package for Lenny,get it from Debian backports.
Here's how to do it:

Before you install anything from backports i would purge the flashplayer-mozilla package and related dependencies.

ia32-libs-libnss3 solved the issue.

That's because you are running the x86 version of the flashplugin with nspluginwrapper.
Rather than using the native x64 version.

I downloaded the firefox from the below link

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/product...nux&lang=en-US, It didnt say it is a 64 bit or 32 bit . But when i take "Help -> About Mozilla firefox" from the firefox browser, it says i686(x86_64) , so is it a 32 bit or 64 bit firefox ?

Thanks

The link you have posted is for the 32 bit version.
I thought you were trying to install the 64bit flashplugin on a 64bit browser?
Can you copy and paste the exact output from about firefox?

Hi , This is the about Mozilla firefox .

Thanks

Here you go.

This is the 64bit link

Ok Peeths, you need to help me out here as i'm confused as to where you are right now:

So then why:

Did you know that Debian has an unbranded version of FF in it's repositories,called Iceweasel?.
Is Iceweasel installed currently also?

You need to decide which version you want to use.
Here are some options:

1,Use the downloaded 32bit browser and appropriate plugin.
2,Use the 64bit version of Iceweasel and the native 64bit plugin.
3,Use the 64bit version of Iceweasel with the 32bit plugin with nspluginwrapper.

Post back what you have installed and which option you prefer.
Personally i find option 2 works well for me,but it's your machine so it's your call.

You don't need to manually download/install that package anymore,it's available via Debians' repositories.See my first post on this thread.

I am using firefox for a long time and i prefer that browser only, as i am much confident and familiar with the browser.

ALso it is having a lot of add-ons like firebug tool that helps my web development and download helper and go on ....

This link is of flash player, so does that means that i am using the 64bit firefox ?
The about mozilla firefox is as follows

Thanks
Peeths

True, and i installed it from the repositories, but it didn't work. The manual install did though.

peeths003:

http://i25.tinypic.com/2cqcfm9.jpg says its x86_64 so yes.

AFAIK the FF package you can currently download from here:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html

Is for x86 only.
And yes,the jpeg you have attached does say x86_64 after i686.
I am guessing this is because you can run the x86 version on a x64 system,as i posted earlier.
So to my mind you are now trying to install the x64 plugin into the x86 browser!!.
So don't be surprised if it does not work.

However there is a test x64 version in the FF nightly builds:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o.../latest-trunk/

Can't say if it works well,as i've never used it.

Backports has the flashplugin for x86 and x64 architectures,so decide what browser you are using and install using the instructions from their site.

If you are not going to take time to read what's posted,then i can't help you any further.

The link for the firefox is not a stable version i guess , its under testing . Well i will wait for the stable version of 64bit firefox , thanks for the link , I can keep checking for the updates and releases. This link was unknows to me .


Thanks a lot ( :) )

In the meantime just use Iceweasel x64 from Debian's repositories.
