what's tricky about requiring the user to install Chrome and asking them for the path to the right .so?

huh, I was so sure it's still a .so that I didn't even bother to check. :)
oops, then.
No more Flash for Firefox on Linux Posted Feb 22, 2012 17:31 UTC (Wed) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] There's a 17 MB libgcflashplayer.so in /opt/google/chrome (at least on my box). I'm wondering if Firefox could load in that file...?

No more Flash for Firefox on Linux Posted Feb 22, 2012 23:16 UTC (Wed) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] Interesting... I'm curious, does Chrome help itself to all available NPAPI plugins found on the local installation? When I navigate to chrome://plugins I see all the MPlayerPlug-In media player plugins I had compiled/installed for Firefox (but obviously, Chrome found them and chose to use them). Weird... (or maybe not)

did you compile those for firefox, or did you compile those for the NPAPI ? most likely the latter.
