Re: [Gnash] How to force Firefox 3 to use Gnash?

[Bastiaan Jacques]

That sounds like a packaging bug, because Firefox isn't picking up on
the plugin. It's probably best to report the problem to your distro
packager. In the mean time, you can make sure that libgnashplugin.so
exists in the right location, which usually means either
.mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/firefox/plugins. You might take the
opportunity to upgrade to a more recent version of Gnash, too...
