I am using Slackware 14 and I installed flash player as in this blog post http://goo.gl/A0Yxf. According to which I simply copied the "libflashplayer.so" provided by Adobe to the firefox plugin directory and it was working perfectly.
So when new Firefox versions came I installed a new version following the steps in this post http://goo.gl/HOJVd and I did the same steps to install flash player. I didn't remove the old firefox installation. The problem is that if I am use the link to the old firefox I can use the flash player but else new installation doesn't recognize the flash player installation.
Can anybody tell me what I have done wrong here.
$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<PROFILE NAME>/plugins
directory? There are various "plugin directories" for firefox. The post you linked to is how you installed thunderbird, could you show us the actual commands you ran to install firefox? Did you also link it to/usr/bin
? Where is the other firefox instance installed. The more infor you give, the likelier it is we will be able to help you.$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<PROFILE NAME>/plugins
directory?
