Jcan't get adobe flash to be recognized or working in Firefox

omisan · 06-15-2010, 12:27 AM

slackware 13.1 64, Firefox 3.6.3 64.

1. Downloaded latest adobe flash player, 'install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz'

2. Extracted 'libflashplayer.so'

3.Copied 'libflashplayer.so' to: usr/lib64/firefox-3.6.3/plugins.

4. Restarted firefox. No flash, not recognized in firefox tools addons

I must have missed a step or this is not the way flash s/b installed in FF?

Thanks.

I didn't work because you are using the 32 bit version of the player. And I have bad news for you:

"When will 64-bit versions of Flash Player 10.1 be available?
The 64-bit versions of Flash Player will not be in the initial release of Flash Player 10.1. We remain committed to bringing native 64-bit Flash Player to Windows, Mac, and Linux in the future. There are plans to replace the now closed Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux prerelease with a new release built on Flash Player 10.1."

the last 64bit plugin is also seriously bugged so I strongly advise you against using it.
