Hello Team,

Thank you very much for such a beautiful browser. Kudos to all the members who work on it to make it the best.

My problem is after getting the zipped file for firefox I had unzipped and firefox runs fine, except for the flash player. Not sure where the libflashplayer.so file has to be copied since there appears no 'plugins' folder. Those sites which support the HTML5 the media file works good. But places like Facebook, the container shows flash player required and it is not switching over to HTML5 either, so the videos are not loaded. :'(

If you are the only user then there is a easy way to have Plugins for browsers like Firefox. Make a plugins folder in .mozilla and place the libflashplayer.so there.

~/.mozilla/plugins/

Note that the current version of Flash player for Linux is 11.2.202.442 as older versions are on blocklist.
