Firefox 13 on Debian - where is Flash?

[Amos Shapira]

Thanks all.

I removed the pluginsreg.dat file and paid closer attention to the firefox
warnings when it starts up - the issue was that the Mozilla firefox binary
is 32 bit while my system (and the version installed by the flash
installer) is 64 bit. Once I downloaded the 32-bit version directly from
Adobe and stuck the .so file under my ~/.mozilla/plugins directory the
Mozilla firefox recognized it.

Cheers,

--Amos
