I have dsl 2.4 on a pen
downloaded flash unpacked and opened
then copy the two files to /usr/local/firefox/plugins
opened firefox and typed about:plugins but they are not there and not functioning.
what did I do wrong?
I read a post about put them in dsl/home/mozila/plugs but no such directory
also do I need additional files to view youtube...
there is a java plugin but do I need to install jave
thanks

adding...Oh I see there is a java in the repository...29meg? almost as big as dsl..I use dsl on dialup so youtube likely will not work anyway...but would still like to solve for future

adding again..ok went to delete and discovered /opt /firefox_plugins so moved the two files there..is this correct? still no about:plugins info regarding them.
do I need to install java to enable them?
appreciate help as I do not want to download and install java for no good reason...thanks

........................ohwell

/usr/local/firefox/plugins is the directory I used to use...
Put your libflashplayer.so there and then do
Code Sample
sudo chmod 660 /usr/local/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
then in might work...
Remember to restart your FireFox.

:(
Guess what? Doesn't work with me either...
I'll try to solve this.
Code Sample
sudo find /* | grep "moz" | grep "plug"
or
Code Sample
sudo find /* | grep "fox" | grep "plug"
may show other loactios for plugins.

Ok. I give up.
I chmoded that plugin to 755 and moved it to /opt/.firefox_plgins/. Didn't worked. Same result was with the /usr/local/firefox/plugins/ directory.

I managed to install flash on my old DSL... Where do I go wrong?
