Re: Flash Plugin Not detacted in Palemoon linux x86_64
Pale Moon looks for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, while some distros place the plugins in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins instead. Try the following steps in a terminal to create a symlink to the actual plugin directory:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/lib
mkdir mozilla
cd mozilla
ln -s ../nsbrowser/plugins plugins

the command you give me does not work, maybe because of my distro of choice..trava90 wrote:Pale Moon looks for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, while some distros place the plugins in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins instead.

but it has inspired me to dig deeper and I found flashplayer.so that is I thinks the flash plugin in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
and I use ln -s command to make a symlink from that directory to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and run palemoon --rescanplugin and it works.. thanks for your guide
here the command that you have inspired me
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin
and I restart palemoon using these command
Code: Select all
palemoon --rescanplugins
Re: Flash Plugin Not detacted in Palemoon linux x86_64
Today i got this too. Flash player is found in /usr/lib64/flash-plugin
i've done this command
ln -s /usr/lib64/flash-plugin /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin
new /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin created properly, but it still not seen on Pale moon
i have seen that all other plugins are located in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
done this command then
ln -s /usr/lib64/flash-plugin /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
it created /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-plugin, still with no use for Pale moon.
I have got angry gave up with ln thing, have plain copied libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, at last flash is working.
