I was trying to run this weird combo, has anyone gotten this to work?

Rawhide Fedora 13 64bit
Firefox 3.6.1-1 64bit

Installed the Flash 10.1 B3 from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
(32bit plugin from flashplayer10_1_p3_linux_022310.tar.gz) to ~/.mozilla/plugins

Since the Firefox is 64bit and the plugin is 32bit, I installed the nspluginwrapper for i686 and its dependencies. When I restart firefox it acts like it can't see the plugin.

Is there something unusual about the 10.1 flash plugin that makes it incompatible with Firefox? Is the problem that unlike the instructions on
mjmwired about the plugin, I'm using the raw tar file and not using an rpm?

Installing flash for 64 bit is easy
First you uninstall the 32 bit one$ su -
# yum remove flash-plugin

After you do
# cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
# urlgrabber http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
# tar xvzf libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
# rm -f libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Re-launch firefox and normaly that work

Installing flash for 64 bit is easy
I didn't want to do that actually, I already had 64bit flash going (10.0.45.2) in firefox but
the 64bit plugin doesn't have the new acceleration code and if you try the 64bit plugin on hulu.com you'll find it doesn't work anymore.

Only the 32bit flash will work on hulu recently. The only other way to run hulu if you have the 64bit plugin is to run huludesktop (not sure why, their docs say that huludesktop uses your existing plugin so I'm not sure why HD can play hulu with the 64bit plugin but firefox can't... I suppose they have stupid user agent tests)
