If you'll recall that "right .so" is called /opt/google/chrome/chrome and includes not just Flash but also the whole 70MB browser… well, it's tricky indeed…

huh, I was so sure it's still a .so that I didn't even bother to check. :)
oops, then.

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...?

Probably. AFAICS that's NPAPI version of Flash which is scheduled to go away.

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.
