  • First of all, thank you! My problem now: I do not find any libflashplayer.so file in my /home directory. Also I don't have have a plugins directory in my .mozilla directory. However I found a /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so. Should I replace this one instead? Commented Apr 29, 2014 at 16:03
  • Note that if you do this, you'll have multiple versions of the plugin installed—the Debian-installed versions in the system directories, and your local versions in $HOME. Commented Apr 29, 2014 at 16:39
  • Don't replace the system one. Create the .mozilla/plugins directory, put it in there, and see if that works on restart -- the one in $HOME should take precedence, and you don't want to be replacing the distro one unless you absolutely have to. See "Plug-ins directory" here: wiki.debian.org/Mozilla Note that once you do that, it will continue to take precedence when the system one is updated, and it will not be updated automatically itself.
