Flash links are done, still not enabled

Unread post by Dylanlip » 2015-06-13, 17:24

Using Pale Moon 25.5.0 on Fedora 22 x64 4.0.4, and I just can't get flash to show up.

I've got 32 and 64-bit flash-plugin 11.2.202.466-release installed from adobe rpms, and have all proper symbolic links for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins with the proper respective flash versions linked. Steam detects and picks up flash correctly, but not Pale Moon for some reason.

Just tried lpf-flash-player which installed flash-plugin 11.2.202.460-1.fc22 after I removed the version above, and still nothing. Not even disabling extensions.blocklist.enabled does the trick. Is there a setting I'm missing? Is there some output I could show to help me out? Is it the appended "fc22" to the version number that tricks PaleMoon?

Are you using some custom build configured with some custom options?

Also, post the output of:

Code: Select all

file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
readlink -e /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

Re-installing from the installer and using a fresh profile seems to have the same effect.

Code: Select all

$ file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: directory

Code: Select all

readlink -e /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

I see that you have installed both 32 and 64 bit versions of Flash, which likely means that you have the 64-bit version in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins, but PM doesn't read from there.

Please add the following to /etc/profile:

Code: Select all

export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

Aha! There we are! All working now. I'll need to keep a note of the solution for later installs.

When I have a bit more time, I might send in a PR for the installer to do this automatically.

(My other PR is still sitting around, though...)
