 |
|
Absolutely hate that sites are still using flash (but they are).
| Code: |
$ ls -al /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/
total 16224
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2018-09-14 05:19:43 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2013-05-01 01:43:13 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16603112 2018-09-14 05:19:39 libflashplayer.so*

It is there (www-plugins/adobe-flash-31.0.0.108 and firefox 62.0). Works fine on a different machine. Works fine on other browsers on this machine. But when I go to about:addons, the only thing that is there is "OpenH264 Video Codec..." Why can't firefox see flash? |

You need the plugin. Should be the nsplugin use flag, unless something changed since I dumped flash.

Does it work when starting from a terminal? I vaguely remember needing to set an env variable, but maybe it was because i just downloaded flash from Adobe outside of the PM.
| Code: | | NS_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/" firefox |
