Bug 146890 – new-www/netscape-flash does not show up in Seamonkey plugins

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Matthew Schultz 2006-09-08 17:05:04 UTC]

netscape-flash emerges fine on amd64 arch but it does not insert itself into the plugins section for seamonkey.  It looks like it installs in the right place AFAIK but seamonkey doesn't see it.  Perhaps it needs to be added to the .dat file in the .mozilla directory?

Well, it just won't work :) You can't use 32bit plugin in 64bit browser. You either need precompiled 32bit seamonkey or you can try gnash or nspluginwrapper (Bug 138454 and http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:nspluginwrapper).
