Npapi plugin: how to install gecko plugin?
1 answer
Quick answer: To enable the plugin in Ubuntu Firefox, copy npbasicplugin.so
to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
.
The way of plugins for different UNIX browsers has changed a lot.
-
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins/
-
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
-
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
-
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/
-
/opt/netscape/plugins/
These are just a few of the places that modern browsers seem to use on modern distributions. Luckily, the distribution usually configures all the browsers they ship to view in a common path, so you only need to install the plugin in one directory to enable it in all browsers on the system. (BSD IIRC ports are an exception, but still ...)
