I installed firefox from portage, but I have 2 versions: precompiled and |
| 11 |
compiled. |
| 12 |
The problem is that flash plug-in doesn't work in 64 bit mode (I have a |
| 13 |
amd64) and I must install a 32 bit version to use it. |

I did the chmod 777 /opt/netscape/plugins/mplayerplug-in.* because: |
| 61 |
ll /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in.* |
| 62 |
/usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so |
| 63 |
-> /opt/netscape/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so |
| 64 |
/usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in.xpt |
| 65 |
-> /opt/netscape/plugins/mplayerplug-in.xpt |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
but it doesn't solve the problem! |
