gnash not available in firefox 32
Hi, I'm running firefox 32 on arch linux wher gnash was removed from official repositories. I uninstalled gnash to try lightspark, but i changed my mind and reinstalled gnash from pacman cache. I have gnash version 0.11-dev2 installed on my system but it doesn't appear at all in firefox plugins. Should gnash be configured with plugin support or this is a firefox problem?

Sounds that you do not have Gnash installed in a location that Firefox scans for plugins. Also note that Firefox is a 32 bit application and you thus need a 32 bit version of plugins.
Also if Firefox was running when a Plugin was installed you may need to restart it. A quicker way to try first is to type in about:plugins in Location (address) bar.
For playing SWF files, I found I could use a helper application rather than a plugin. Flash videos still use the Flash plugin.
The gnash plugin is installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins where all the other detected plugins are found. Also downgrading Firefox to 30 or 31 doesn't help. Maybe the next gnash update will work ok.
