I'm getting kind of frustrated. I freshly installed Archlinux. Installed 'flashplugin' from the repo and it doesn't work (neither in Opera nor in Chrome). Checked permissions. It's 755 for /usr/lib/mozilla and for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and it's even 755 for the file. What goes wrong?

usually the two things that can be wrong are:
1) you didn't login and MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH is not set. test by doing echo $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
2) permission, which in your case are right.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

@1) ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla: drwxr-xr-x 2 Ede Ede 4096 2009-12-09 14:22 plugins
@2) $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH: bash: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: is a directory

I'm not sure if this matters, but why is /usr/lib/mozilla owned by you, the user? This is my stuff:
ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 9 17:41 plugins
ls -l $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
total 9392
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9570952 Dec 9 15:43 libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 10 13:11 libnpjp2.so -> /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43149 Nov 2 20:43 mozplugger.so

@2) $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH: bash: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: is a directory
do "echo $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH" not "$MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH"
