rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6540 Jun 5 23:33 firefox So, going through your steps, first found 'firefox' plugins]$ which plugins]$ cd bin]$ ll firefox > but again, test page on adobe site didn't play. I also tried untarring the 'install.tar' file, moved the. > this installed, then 'rpm -qa' did show the new version but test page on adobe site didn't play. I first tried using 'rpm -Uvh flash-plugin-11.2.' These are the files I downloaded from ~]$ cd Desktop]$ ll Quit out of firefox and restart your browser Link the binary (as yourself in terminal type): ln -s /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so. Note: if the folder doesn't exist, create it and do the command above(as yourself in terminal type): mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins Move to the folder (type in terminal): cd ~/.mozilla/plugins Lets symlink to it from you home mozilla directory (as yourself in a terminal window): In my 64-bit example the binary is installed here - /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so To do that lets go through these steps.įind out where the binary is installed (as root in a terminal window type): rpm -ql flash-plugin What you can do is symlink it from a location firefox does know where to look, usually ~/.mozilla/plugins

if your firefox is 64-bit, you'll need to install the 64-bit rpm.Īssuming you installed the correct rpm, it may be that firefox doesn't know where to search for the libflashplayer.so binary What version of the rpm did you install? the binary must match firefox, meaning if your firefox is 32-bit, you'll need to install the 32-bit rpm.
