I had the 440 version of flash rpm installed (I originally had the 310 version installed) and downloaded the 442 version of the rpm from Adobe, which installs the plugin into /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/mozilla. As I am using the upstream nightly version of 64 bit firefox which looks for its plugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins I put a link to the flash installed plugin into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and link into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins pointing at the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins link. I removed pluginreg.dat and restarted firefox but about:plugins said I still had the 310 version installed. It wasn't until I rebooted linux that firefox reflected the correct version, which is why I thought it might be the ldconfig cache. I could have copied the plugin into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but I don't like having unnecessary copies of files when links work properly in linux, plus I suspect if I did do that I would still have had the problem anyway.On 10.02.2015, Stephen Morris wrote:I already have this repository configured and had installed the 440 version quite some time ago (it seems we need to specify the exact version as this repository seems to have the 64 bit and 32 bit versions), but firefox had always said the installed plugin was 310. Indications are the pluginreg.dat was potentially causing this, so it seems that under Fedora that file must be removed every time the plugin version is changed.If you really need flash: Remove all flash .rpm's you previously installed. Donwload the .tar.gz from Adobe. Copy libflashplayer.so from the archive to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Restart Firefox. You're done. Update? Just do the same as described.
