For months off-and-on I've tried to add Java and/or Flash to Mozilla.
Nothing I've done seems to work.
I'm currently running Mozilla Build ID: 2001032614.
Here's the contents of my /usr/local/mozilla/plugins directory:
westek[westk]:/home/westk> ls -l /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/
total 976
-rwxrwxr-x 1 westk staff 2363 Feb 15 21:39 ShockwaveFlash.class
-rwxrwxr-x 1 westk staff 947992 Feb 15 21:39 libflashplayer.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 westk staff 38499 Mar 26 16:05 libnullplugin.so
I am logged on and running X & Mozilla as westk, and I'm a member of
both the westk and staff groups.
When I do an "about:plugins" in the Mozilla URL field I get:
*Installed plug-ins*
Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape Netcenter
<http://home.netscape.com/plugins/index.html>.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Default Plugin*
File name: /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so
The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions
that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins.
Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled
* All types .* Yes
I've tried putting the plugins in my home directory
(~/.mozilla/.../plugins), and I've tried leaving the plugins in the
Netscape plugin directory and simply making links to them from within
the Mozilla plugin directory, and so far nothing has worked.
I haven't been able to find anything definitive on the Debian mail
archives, or a Dogpile search, or on the Mozilla site.
Can anyone tell me how to get plugins to be recognized by Mozilla?
Thanks!
