Pale Moon forum

The root cause of the problem is that linux Pale Moon looks for plugins in a different directory than Firefox/Chrome/Opera/etc. And linux distros install plugins for the Firefox default location. The solution is to symlink those 2 directories together, so that everybody's happy. It takes 2 commands from the commandline Because you're writing to /usr, you have to do the following as root. This assumes that Flash, or whatever, has been installed, and that the nsbrowser/plugins directory exists.

• if you're running 32-bit linux
  1. mkdir /usr/lib/mozilla
     ln -s /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
• if you're running 64-bit linux
  1. mkdir /usr/lib64/mozilla
     ln -s /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

That's it. You may or may not have to restart Pale Moon to get it to re-do its search.

The suggested directory </usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins>
does not exist.

You know Walter Dnes.. I am in constant awe of your ablity to not only in some cases to do or advise things contrary to what we advise but also to badly rehash things we have already taken the time to cover properly.

Basically I am tired of constantly having to correct you so just stop..

This thread is redundent because this is covered http://linux.palemoon.org/help/faq/#noplugins

Perhaps I'm missing something, the posted link took me to text making reference to the same non existant directory.
