This worked for me just fine.

But now, it won’t work after I upgraded to Firefox 3.6. I had to downgrade back to get it working again.

Any one knows how to do this with Firefox 3.6

For some reason when i type ‘locate libflashplayer.so’ nothing comes up in my terminal. It returns to the command prompt. However, I do indeed have the file in the folders mentioned above. Is there a reason why locate isn’t working for me?

it appears to be working allright.
i wasn’t expecting that a single replace would do the job, too much time using windows

To those people experiencing segfaults in Firefox, it’s probably because of a bug that’s caused by running Adobe AIR at the same time as Flash 10 64 bit. I was hoping this release might fix it but I’ll have to stick with 32 bit + nspluginwrapper for a while longer… ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1080781 )

I find it quite amazing that Adobe’s products aren’t able to work along side each other :/

thanks, and it works..
btw, i also write a tuts -after reading yours of course- and get it refined..
i find the fact that if before in the box using flash using synaptic, it shoud be removed first.. or will be no effect..

anyway, thanks for sharing

you can also put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins/

and I too have the same problem as @David, it’s useless since it makes FF crashe with gmail

No luck for me, lots of Segmentation Faults in popular pages like my Gmail inbox as the previous 64bits versions, so went back to the 32 bits + nspluginwrapper

If flash is not working and firefox become unstable,
try running firefox from console. If error ELFCLASS…etc showed up, that’s mean your old flash is 32 bit. You shouldn’t simply overwrite it, instead just remove flashplugin-nonfree package and put libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
