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 Expected results: Additional info:
Restart Firefox and run mozilla-plugin-config -f -c. Does it help?
I did as you instructed. I even ran that command before opening Firefox. No. It did not make a bit of difference.
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.
Here you are: [Brandon@fedora ~]$ mozilla-plugin-config -l EXCLUDE_WRAP: libtotem* libjavaplugin* gecko-mediaplayer* mplayerplug-in* librhythmbox* packagekit* libnsISpicec* EXCLUDE_LINK: File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-mully-plugin.so File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libjavaplugin.so File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-gmp-plugin.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_64_64.libflashplayer.so Original plugin: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so Wrapper version string: X (1.3.0) File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-cone-plugin.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_64_64.liblightsparkplugin.so Original plugin: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/liblightsparkplugin.so Wrapper version string: X (1.3.0) File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-mully-plugin.so File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libjavaplugin.so File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-gmp-plugin.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_64_64.libflashplayer.so Original plugin: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so Wrapper version string: X (1.3.0) File/Link /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libtotem-cone-plugin.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_64_64.liblightsparkplugin.so Original plugin: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/liblightsparkplugin.so Wrapper version string: X (1.3.0)
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?
Yay! It worked. Thanks! I'm now using Gnash which is originally what I had wanted to use :P
I am glad it worked.
