CentOS: Manual install of plugins for Mozilla Firefox


This is just a note to myself and everyone else in the same spot.


Flash Player



Manual installation of the Flash player plugin for a new Firefox installation is done like this :



[root@lxbakalidis ~]# cd /opt/mozilla/firefox/plugins
[root@lxbakalidis plugins]# ln -sf /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
libflashplayer.so


Detailed instructions for installing flash-player from Adobe are available here.

Java



The java plugin gets installed by linking libjavaplugin_oji.so located in $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/ in your plugin dir.


Real Player



For real Player the plugin name is nphelix.so and the plugin location is /opt/RealPlayer//mozilla/.
