How/Where do I install Flash Player in Aurora 7?
Or any plugin. At the moment I found none information about it.
Best regards.

hummm... The truth is that I execute Aurora from my home folder (just extracted from the archive downloaded from Firefox site). There is no plugins folder. I created it and paste Flash inside, but it doesn't work.
In about:plugins there is nothing. And yes, the normal Firefox from Mint-Ubuntu apt has got Flash, but Aurora doesn't look for it.
Mabe I should install Aurora in another way/place?
My Aurora install is also in my home folder, here's what I did:
Located the plugins folder for the other installation of Firefox: usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and copied the flashplugin-alretnative.so file into the lib folder where Aurora is installed, which for me is home/tor-browser_en-US/Lib
It showed up in Tools>Addons>Plugins.
You can also create a symlink to that file in the original location to make it easier to keep track of updates.
Current Firefox versions also allow to install plugins in the plugins folder Firefox Profile Folder.
That folder doesn't exist by default and needs to be created.
