from about:plugins (firefox) At the top you will see (this is the 64 bit Alpha Flash
Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Version: Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45 ——– And at the bottom you will see (This is the 32 bit Flash) Shockwave Flash File: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Version: Shockwave Flash 10.1 r85 We have both a 32 and 64 bit Flash installed in plugins at the same time. But wait, it will get more painful! Close out Firefox! 5. Let’s rename the 32 bit flash plugins: (yes this is a sledge hammer approach) cd /usr/share/ubufox/plugins you will see something like: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so If you do a file npwrapper.libflashplayer.so you will see: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so: broken symbolic link to `/usr/lib /flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so’ let’s rename the symlink anyway: sudo mv npwrapper.libflashplayer.so npwrapper.libflashplayer.so_32_bit one down, one to go: 6. Let’s get the real file: cd /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/ this is a 64 bit file (yes I know) but we’ll rename it anyway: sudo mv npwrapper.libflashplayer.so npwrapper.libflashplayer.so_org okay now we have eliminated to conflicts, if you fire up Firefox at the terminal window: nwa...@homer:~$ firefox LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/nppdf.so [/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/nppdf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32] So we are STILL not home free. 7. So let’s rename this guy: cd /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins sudo mv nppdf.so nppdf.so_32_bit 8. But we still have no Flash Player! All we’ve done so far, is get rid of the 32 bit conflicts. you can reference this article on how to obtain and install the Flash Plugin. 9. Okay, now for the really painful part. We have to blow away all our Firefox settings. Please note by renaming .mozilla you will: LOSE ALL ENTERED PASSWORDS FOR SITES sudo mv .mozilla .mozilla_org basically we are renaming the original files. It’s still there, but no longer accessible by Firefox. We are starting clean! 10. Now bring up Firefox, and let’s restore the bookmarks: Bookmarks/Organise Bookmarks/Import and Backup/Restore Navigate to your bookmark and hit Choose File and locate your file to restore. This is a painful fix, as you will have LOST ALL ENTERED PASSWORDS However, Firefox will THEN be stable. Hokey. Absolutely. Works. Absolutely. -- Firefox 64 Bit has both 32 and 64 bit flash installed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
