When i restart my computer flash in firefox doesn't work anymore until I reinstall it.

This is before I reinstall
Code:
alice ~ # ls -lha /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Aug 19 12:53 /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
alice ~ # ls -lha /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so     
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9.2M Aug 19 12:53 /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so


This is the reinstall
Code:
alice ~ # emerge www-plugins/adobe-flash

I get the same problem ... reinstalling fixed it, but a faster method I just tried (and it worked) is to run:

Code:
$ sudo touch /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so


Oddly, that works, too. I suspect a bug in firefox as this didn't start happening until I moved to 3.5.x. I see there's a 3.5.3 in portage, I should try that.

Nope, same problem with 3.5.3 ... maybe it's time to open a bug report...

... some time later, opened bug 286945

This should only affect you if you have a flash player installed in your home directory. Check the contents of ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and make sure you don't have a libflashplayer.so in there. If you do, delete it and the problem should be fixed.

This worked for me on amd64 and FF 3.5.3.
