I've downloaded the .tar.gz player, finally I got: ~/.moziila/plugins/libflashplayer.so But chromium still asks for new version of FlashPlayer. > Other places that are searched are /usr/lib (or > lib64)/mozilla/plugins, the browser's install directory which may be > in /local or /opt instead of /usr, but they all require root access > to copy files there. Putting to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dose the trick whereas /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins dose not. Do You have any ideas on local home dir - why it does not work putting the lib there ( ~/.moziila/plugins )?
