Hi folks.

I've followed the instructions to install the flash plugin by downloading the
YUM version and then installing the RPM. I got no errors when doing any of
this. However, flash still does not work in Firefox. If I do 'about:plugins'
it isn't listed.

Any suggestions on what to try next. All I'm getting from Google is variations
of the same instructions I've already done.

Hi Gary,
    You haven't mentioned whether you are using the 64 bit version of Fedora with the 64 bit version of firefox. I'm using the upstream nightly version of firefox and have had the same problem, which I have subsequently solved.
    The issue I found was the Fedora installs the flash plugin in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins but firefox (irrespective of whether its the 32 bit or 64 bit version) looks for its plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. I resolved the issue by inserting a link to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (I called the link libflashplayer.so for simplicity).

regards,
Steve




This also happens in Fedora 13.
