Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The flash plugin is installed like it's supposed to be, Firefox however can't load the plugin, and fails with the error messages: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/roy/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/home/roy/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: kan segmentbescherming niet herstellen na verhuizing: Toegang geweigerd] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/Mozilla/Firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/usr/Mozilla/Firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so: kan segmentbescherming niet herstellen na verhuizing: Toegang geweigerd] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/Mozilla/Firefox/plugins/libvlcplugin.so [/usr/Mozilla/Firefox/plugins/libvlcplugin.so: kan segmentbescherming niet herstellen na verhuizing: Toegang geweigerd] *** loading the extensions datasource *** ExtensionManager:_updateManifests: no access privileges to application directory, skipping.

After this, Firefox starts up like normally, but without Flash (or the vlc plugin, for that matter). My guess is that these modules need to be recompiled with GCC4 to fix compatibility with the FC4 kernel, althou i'm not that much of a programmer.
