I can understand not including the support by default. No need to create bloat, but I want flash support, so here goes… Install gnash-plugin, create a plugins directory under chrome and create a softlink to the .so file. about:plugins will show your shockwave flash plugin. Here’s some test sites to test it with.

My old method was to install some sort of flash player plugin named something like “libflashplayer.so” and copy it from /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 to the plugins directory under “~/.mozilla/plugins/”. But now that’s old school. All you need to do in Fedora 12 is:

Smarter tabs, Opera turbo, widgets, cache control, dragonfly, speed dial, and all the little things like middle mouse clicks to open tabs.

If you see this message when firefox tries to load flash content:

SELinux is preventing the npviewer.bin from using potentially mislabeled files (/home/admica/.icedteaplugin/icedtea-plugin-to-appletviewer).

restorecon reset /home/admica/.icedteaplugin/icedtea-plugin-to-appletviewer context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0->system_u:object_r:nsplugin_home_t:s0
and you should get …
