[Bug 286433] New: Firefox 2.0.0.4-1.1 Ignores Macromedia Flash-player 9.0. 31.0-1.1 (and maybe some other plug-ins)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=286433 Summary: Firefox 2.0.0.4-1.1 Ignores Macromedia Flash-player 9.0.31.0-1.1 (and maybe some other plug-ins) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jimomura@pathcom.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- My Firefox was updated automatically to the new x86-64 version 2.0.0.4 a week or so ago. I thought I had Flash-player installed. I might be wrong about that. I run on a number of computers so I can lose track of what I have installed on a particular computer. Anyway, I check YaST and it said that I did not have a Flash player installed. I selected the Macromedia Flash-player version 9.0.31.0-1.1 and installed it. The result was that Firefox did not see the installation, even after rebooting. I checked the installation and found the ".so" and ".xpt" files in "/usr/lib/browser-plugins/*". I experimented using "link" to create hard links in "/usr/lib64/..." and after rebooting, I tried "MySpace" to see if the plugin was working. Firefox treated the plugin as existing (no notices showed up saying that I was missing the plugin), but the result does not work. I have removed the hard links. but left the Macromedia Flashplayer installed. I think I will probably remove it and try the other Flash player later. I am not certain of this, but I think that all the plugins in the 32-bit "lib" directory are being ignored. If I have time later I will try to test them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
