Sorry if this seems like a lot but there are a lot of unanswered questions, still:
What does "about:plugins" in Firefox show is enabled for 'Shockwave Flash' content?
about:plugins shows a big message that reads "No enabled plugins found"
when i click the mozilla.org link to learn more about plugins there's a message there that firefox, for my safety, has disabled my outdated version of Flash and provides a link to the same adobe download page i've already downloaded from 10 or so times
What files are in /usr/lib{64}/browser-plugins/?
/usr/lib/browser-plugins has nppdf.so
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins has
javaplugin.so libflashplayer.so libgnashplugin.so npwrapper.nppdf.so npwrapper.so packagekit-plugin.so skypebuttons.so
which is probably the important one because this is a 64-bit box
the owner and group of libflashplayer.so is root/root, with read/write/execute for owner and read/execute for everyone else
What is the result of 'rpm -qa | grep flash'?
flash-player-11.1.102.55-0.6.1.x86_64
What was the 'special version' you installed? Where did you get it and how, exactly, did you install it?
i truly wish i remembered -- it was something i learned on this list so maybe i can find it...
I think I may have spotted a problem, but to clarify things a bit, please close Firefox completely (Firefox -> File -> Quit will close all open Firefox windows,) navigate to your ~/.mozilla/firefox/??.default directory and delete the file "pluginreg.dat". Then re-launch Firefox and check 'about:plugins' again and report any changes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
