How to add the flash plugin in firefox beta linux x86_64

Someone give me the solution in a live chat session so I share it here.
If you are testing firefox under linux (x86_64 in my case) and the flash plugin is installed but not detected by firefox, it's probably because you are testing it in a single user environment.
For example, you have downloaded and unarchived firefox beta in your home directory :
/home/toto/downloads/firefox
And flash plugin was already installed in :
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
All you have to do is to create a personal plugin directory :
mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
And then, copy the flash plugin :
cp -a /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

A symbolic link to that file should be sufficient.

  • I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

    I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
    The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
    I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

    Hi Stephan,
    Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
    I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
    Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
    I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
    I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

  • Can I install the Flash Plugin for Firefox, and the Adobe Flash application program, on the same machine?

    PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Firefox 33.1
    Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
    Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
    So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
    In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
    Thanks
    Bill

    VLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
    As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

  • Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

    Hi all,
    I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox.  The video
    is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
    funy.
    Here is the address:
    http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
    Anybody else had this problem before?

    its playing in the background right now and sounds fine.  Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
    using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
    Is the rtc module loaded?  Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
    BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck.  Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.

  • How do I keep Firefox from asking to install the Flash plugin (which I don't want) ?

    Using Firefox 26.0 for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
    How do I disable Firefox from requesting to download the Flash plugin every time I visit a site with video content?
    Frequently I visit sites that have some video content; 99% of the time, I'm not interested in seeing the video; if interested, will download it and play it locally with my own video player (not Flash). Some sites
    will let me play the video even without Flash.

    Go to your address bar and type "about:config", press Enter, in search bar, type "plugin.state.flash", on the option that will appears double click or click with right button mouse and click and "Edit...", then change its value to 0 (never active)
    0 <-- Never active.
    1 <-- Ask to active.
    2 <-- Default, always active.

  • Can Firefox in any way affect the 'start' audio volume on the Flash plugin ??

    I hate that so many videos begin at full volume. Is there any way that Firefox can affect any parameters for volume control on the Flash plug-in ? Doesn't look like the plug-in is programmable itself, but what do I know.
    Or
    Is there an entirely different approach to making sure 'any' video can't begin at full volume ?
    Having total control over video (or audio.. mp3, etc.) begin volume ... this would be one heck of a popular feature to put into a version of Firefox itself.
    OR....
    I'm still thinking this through.... why not some sort of faux-decibal meter that will not allow volume past a set point. THAT would be a neat background utility to add into the existing volume control tool.
    Help me out here, guys

    hello rbnoah, i think this can be handled by your operating system - it should be possible to assign different volume levels for different applications (& also the flash plugin): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/5228/simple-tips-windows-7-volume-mixer-enables-quick-access-to-sound-settings/

    How to stop Adobe Flash plugin from repeatedly crashing Firefox?

    yeah, having the same problem.
    Hulu is working on my internet explorer 8, tho... Interesting thing is that it detected I didn't have the 10.1 version of adobe flash player even though I just downloaded that on firefox. So MAYBE the problem is between firefox and adobe. Just a guess

  • Ever since I've upgraded to Firefox 5 the flash plugin crashes on almost every page. Is there a solution to this?

    The flash plugin has absolutely refused to work ever since I upgraded to FF5. It crashes on every page.!!!!

  • How can I install the PnH plugin for firefox?

    Hi, I'm actually trying to install the ca certificates for burp suite. There is another method outlined in the instructions but that involves going into the advanced options which... is not on newer versions of the browser?

    The standard build of Firefox for Linux definitely has an Advanced panel in the Preferences dialog, here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates mini-tab
    But... some builds may be different.

  • Latest Flash plugin causes firefox to crash when printing

    Firefox will crash anytime I attempt to print a webpage. It doesn't happen in safemode. Disabling the Adobe Flash Plugin removes the problem. The Flash Plugin is the current version from adobe.

    Tylerdowner,
    Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
    I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

    body  {
    font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    background: #666666;
    margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
    color: #000000;
    /* Tips for Elastic layouts
    1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
    2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
    3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust these divs based on your final font sizing.
    .twoColElsLt #container {
    width: 46em;  /* this width will create a container that will fit in an 800px browser window if text is left at browser default font sizes */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
    /* Tips for sidebar1:
    1. Be aware that if you set a font-size value on this div, the overall width of the div will be adjusted accordingly.
    2. Since we are working in ems, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar itself. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
    3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColElsLt #sidebar1 p" rule.
    .twoColElsLt #sidebar1 {
    float: left;
    width: 12em; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
    background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
    padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */
    .twoColElsLt #sidebar1 h3, .twoColElsLt #sidebar1 p {
    margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
    margin-right: 10px;
    /* Tips for mainContent:
    1. If you give this #mainContent div a font-size value different than the #sidebar1 div, the margins of the #mainContent div will be based on its font-size and the width of the #sidebar1 div will be based on its font-size. You may wish to adjust the values of these divs.
    2. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div.  No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
    3. To avoid float drop, you may need to test to determine the approximate maximum image/element size since this layout is based on the user's font sizing combined with the values you set. However, if the user has their browser font size set lower than normal, less space will be available in the #mainContent div than you may see on testing.
    4. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs that may occur.
    .twoColElsLt #mainContent {
      margin: 0 1.5em 0 13em; /* the right margin can be given in ems or pixels. It creates the space down the right side of the page. */
    /* Miscellaneous classes for reuse */
    .fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right in your page. The floated element must precede the element it should be next to on the page. */
    float: right;
    margin-left: 8px;
    .fltlft { /* this class can be used to float an element left in your page */
    float: left;
    margin-right: 8px;
    .clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */

  • I updated my flash plugin and Firefox no longer has it.

    I updated my Flash plugin to the latest version. Since then, Firefox has, instead of saying that I should update it, said that I should install it. The flash plugin does not appear in the add-ons manager, and flash content works fine in other browsers.

    You may have a problem with the file pluginreg.dat that stores the plugin registry.
    Delete the file pluginreg.dat and let Firefox rebuild a new version.

  • What exactly is the Default Plugin in Firefox?

    I am looking for detailed information on the Default Plugin in Firefox, specifically for v3.6.20. When I envoke the Troubleshooting Information page and select Plugins, I see that it is Disabled. However, in Preferences/Manage Ad Ons/Plugins, it appears enabled.
    I am experiencing issues with Firefox that I need to solve before I make any future upgrade attempt, and this is an issue that I need to solve.
    Thanks..

    That is OK. The default plugin is used if there isn't a plugin installed to handle specific content and ofers to do a search.
    What kind of problems do you have?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
