CentOS: Manual install of plugins for Mozilla Firefox

This is just a note to myself and everyone else in the same spot.

Flash Player

Manual installation of the Flash player plugin for a new Firefox installation is done like this :

[root@lxbakalidis ~]# cd /opt/mozilla/firefox/plugins
[root@lxbakalidis plugins]# ln -sf /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so 
libflashplayer.so

Detailed instructions for installing flash-player from Adobe are available here.

Java

The java plugin gets installed by linking libjavaplugin_oji.so located in $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/ in your plugin dir.

Real Player

For real Player the plugin name is nphelix.so and the plugin location is /opt/RealPlayer//mozilla/.

Firefox 2.0.0.0.x on CentOS 5.1

Thanks to people like Diezel who posted the original article on nixadmins.net, we now know that in order for Firefox 2.0 to run on a CentOS (or Red Hat EL) version 5.1 machine, we need to install compat-libstdc++-33.

Using yum this is done as easy as entering

#yum install compat-libstdc++-33

s the root user. The rest is trivial.
