Enabling Flash Plugin
Fedora includes swfdec
and gnash
, which are free and open source implementations of Flash. We encourage you to try either of them before seeking out Adobe's proprietary Flash Player plug-in software. The Adobe Flash Player plug-in uses a legacy sound framework that does not work correctly without additional support. Run the following command to enable this support:
su -c 'yum install libflashsupport'
If you are using Flash 10, you do not need libflashsupport anymore as the usage of ALSA has been fixed in this version.
Users of Fedora x86_64 must install the nspluginwrapper.i386
package to enable the 32-bit Adobe Flash Player plug-in in Firefox, and the libflashsupport.i386
package to enable sound from the plug-in.
Install the nspluginwrapper.i386
, nspluginwrapper.x86_64
, and libflashsupport.i386
packages:
su -c 'yum install nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64} libflashsupport.i386'
Install flash-plugin
after nspluginwrapper.i386
is installed:
su -c 'yum install libflashsupport'
Run mozilla-plugin-config
to register the flash plugin:
su -c "mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v"
Close all Firefox windows, and then relaunch Firefox. Type about:plugins in the URL bar to ensure the plugin is loaded.
