17 I had read about this somewhere. ~/.mozilla/plugins/ was already existing
18 (I had played with creating my own plugin using Qt), and I made a symlink
19 to /opt/Adobe/flash-player/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so. But no success.

21 I used to get some errors in the terminal when starting midori manually,
22 like these:

45 Not depending on the value of MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH I specified. Now all I get
46 is this:

85 Well, I have more important stuff to do at the moment, so I will deal
86 with this later. Thanks all four your input, I'll also try using
87 different Firefox profiles, if Midori just doesn't work for me.
