Just installed Swiftfox from AUR, how to install Flash for it??

I just installed Swiftfox for P4, it works great and love it, want to keep using it now but it doesn't have Flash. How can I install it or point it to the already working Flash that my FF2 uses?? (I don't know how to create symbolic links).

TIA folks!!

To create a symlink:
ln -s /path/to/real/file /path/to/symlink

or you could try reinstalling the flash package and it might see swiftfox and install it in the swiftfox plugins directory.

Okay I found:

bobby@dabox:/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins$ ls
libflashplayer.so  libjavaplugin_oji.so  libnpsoplugin.so
bobby@dabox:/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins$

So what would I do? What is the "/path/to/symlink" supposed to be? Am I linking to /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so, or just /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins??

Have a look at /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh for a hint.

Okay, that contains:

export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/mozilla/bin"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:/opt/mozilla/lib/pkgconfig"
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"

So clearly it looks to /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins. So I would do:

ln -s /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins

But what is the symlink ?
