CentOS

Hello,
How to install those really annoying Adobe plugins to run videos in Firefox 10 that came with Linux 5.8 please?
I tried installing plugin with software installer. It seems installed but youtube videos still do not work. I tried reinstalling, but it says that the package is already installed...
Please help.

Thank you.
Regard, Art.

If more help is needed please explain exactly what you did and [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28723&forum=54]provide more information about your system[/url].

After installing the plugins, create a symbolic link to the .so file.
Open a console and log in as root. Execute the following command:
ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/

Then close Firefox and reopen the page.
The above command is for a 64Bit machine.
If it doesn't work, tell me how you installed the plugins.

Thanks for the advice; however, trying to create a symbolic link in place of a file that already exists is not recommended or effective:

[code]
# rpm -qf /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
flash-plugin-11.2.202.233-release.x86_64
# yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo c5-media,\*-source,\*debug\* whatprovides /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
...

Installing the latest flash-plugin package from either RPMforge or Adobe should suffice.
