[Bug 16502] Re: nspluginviewer crashes badly on flashplayer

[Volker Börchers]

Fixed this by cleaning up my ~/.mozilla directory. It contained some
stale files from older plugin installations which firefox did not use.
(After installation of package flashplugin-nonfree firefox used the
plugins in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree instead.)

Actually I didn't trace which file was the real cause of the problem but
the following steps fixed it:

  aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree konqueror-nsplugins
  cd ~/.mozilla
  rm pluginreg.dat plugins/*
  cd plugins/
  ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so .

(You might want to make backups of the files before removing them.)

I guess that it's possible to make konqueror look into the same
directories as firefox. Perhaps it's possible to implement a general fix
in the nspluginviewer package in this way.
