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..
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

edit:my distro is fedora24 spin xfce 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.
