Firefox and incorrectly named plugins
As it turns out, firefox on linux will only load plugins if they are named something.so. Hit this error when trying to use the latest 64 bit plugin (10.0.0.18.32) and wanted to keep the older version around with some symlink magic. Basically I had the following files:
libflashplayer.so.10.0.0.22
libflashplayer.so.10.0.0.32
libflashplayer.so -> libflashplayer.so.10.0.0.32
And firefox refused to use the plugins while both konqueror and chromium had no problems with them. Renaming the files (and symlink accordingly) to libflashplayer-10.0.0.32.so did the trick.
