When I upgraded from Firefox 3.x to Firefox 7, the older flash plugin stopped working.These are the steps which worked for me, to reinstall the flash plugin:<\/p>\n

Assumptions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Linux\u00ae process file system, linprocfs(5) is already mounted using either the manual command:<\/p>\n

# mount -t linprocfs linproc \/usr\/compat\/linux\/proc<\/p>\n

or set to run at boot time by adding the following line in \/etc\/fstab<\/p>\n

linproc \/usr\/compat\/linux\/proc linprocfs rw 0 0<\/p>\n

The linux emulator port \/usr\/ports\/emulators\/linux_base-f10 is already installed.<\/p>\n

Firefox 7 is already installed. Note that firefox runs as firefox and not as firefox7 (Firefox 3.x ran as firefox3)<\/p>\n

Steps<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Install the \/usr\/ports\/www\/nspluginwrapper port using make or portmaster<\/p>\n

Install the \/usr\/ports\/www\/linux-f10-flashplugin10 port<\/p>\n

Make sure that you have $HOME\/.mozilla\/plugins folder present. If not, then create it manually.<\/p>\n

The .mozilla\/plugins folder is where the flash plugin should be installed by default but generally it doesnt so this has to be resolved by creating a symlink<\/p>\n

# ln -s \/usr\/local\/lib\/npapi\/linux-f10-flashplugin\/libflashplayer.so
\n\/$HOME\/.mozilla\/plugins\/<\/p>\n

For each user the plugin must be installed using the command<\/p>\n

nspluginwrapper -v -a -i<\/p>\n

Next run the command nspluginwrapper -l to see if the plugin was found in $HOME\/.mozilla\/plugins folder. If not then remove the symlink above and manually copy the libflashplayer.so into that folder. Run<\/p>\n

nspluginwrapper -v -a -i<\/p>\n

Close firefox if open and reload it. Type in about:plugins and it should the presense of the flash plugin.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps.<\/p>\n
