Description Brandon 2011-03-18 12:47:11 UTC

Description of problem:
I removed the adobe flash plug-ins from the /user/lib64/mozilla/plugins folder because I wanted to use Gnash instead of the proprietary stuff. I removed the original adobe flash from the folder mentioned above and plugged in Gnash and the adobe plugin still has not been removed from the add-ons menu in Firefox. So I removed Gnash which worked and installed the latest version at the time of adobe flash. Now BOTH Adobe plugins won't remove. :/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.6.15

How reproducible:
See above

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Not removed

Restart Firefox and run mozilla-plugin-config -f -c. Does it help?

Comment 2 Brandon 2011-03-23 20:58:16 UTC

I did as you instructed. I even ran that command before opening Firefox. No. It did not make a bit of difference.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2011-03-23 22:59:02 UTC

Can I get here the output of the command

mozilla-plugin-config -l

please? It could tell us what's actually going on with that plugin.

Comment 4 Brandon 2011-03-24 04:50:26 UTC

Here you are:

OK, you have certainly too many flash players at once ... please remove any packaged ones (I guess lightspark could be packaged, also check you don't have flash-plugin package installed). Then check again

mozilla-plugin-config -f -c && mozilla-plugin-config -l

and remove anything what's left until you don't see ANY flash plugins neither in the output of this command nor in about:plugins

Then and only then try just one flash player at once (gnash for example) preferably from Fedora packages.

Is that better?

Comment 6 Brandon 2011-03-24 23:40:28 UTC

Yay! It worked. Thanks! I'm now using Gnash which is originally what I had wanted to use :P

Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2011-03-25 10:47:07 UTC

I am glad it worked.
