Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20130213 Firefox/21.0 Build ID: 20130213031137 Steps to reproduce: The usual. Go to a site that provides videos. Poke on one of the videos. Apparently the presence of /usr/lib64/libflashplayer.so is not detected. Actual results: Usually the video comes up and starts playing. This did not happen since a FF Nightly update 2 days ago. Poking on the video does not invoke flash player but brings up a popup asking what FF is to do. Expected results: FF Nightly should be sending the file to flashplayer for processing.

This problem has been resolved. I got a 64bit version of FF and a 64bit version of libflashplayer.so. Made the "correct" links and FF is now working. My only question now is, "Was there an error message written somewhere in FF that describes this compatibility problem?" If not, shouldn't there be one? Thanks for the cool code. George...
