After spending much time trying to put flash plugin working with Firefox CVS under MDK 10, I found this place that maybe can help someone here in the future.

 

Just rpm -i , go to /usr/lib/flash-plugin folder and copy .xpt and .so to your plugins folder inside firefox directory.

 

Any additonal package is necessary, do the step above and to check if it's working properly type in firefox adress bar: about:plugins. It should be there.

The latest Flash plugin version 6.0.81-1 should no longer have the libstdc++ (gcc 2.96) dependency problem.

Also, if you install the rpm package, you can create symlink so that same plugin can be re-used for another browser.

 

$ su

# cd {your browser path}/plugins/

# ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/flashplayer.xpt .

# ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so .

 

You can save some harddrive space with this trick, and when you update the flash-plugin again you should no longer need to copy the files again because they are all linked at the same source at /usr/lib/flash-plugin directory.

Speeding up Flash animation for GTK-2.0+ build of Mozilla or Firefox:

 

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219625

 

Just export this environment before starting Mozilla / Firefox:

 

$ export FLASH_GTK_LIBRARY=libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

 

You can add this line (without the '$' prompt) to the execute script such as "firefox.sh", so it will be exported by default.
