how to fix the flashplayer detection problem [GUIDE]

even though not a lot of people found this problem, i want to make sure that it's fixed. so, i decided to make a small guide to tell others how to fix the flashplayer problem if it's not detected by any browser, even if its installed. this problem is caused ONLY when you run as a non-root user. the root of the problem is permissions in the /usr/lib/mozilla folder. what you have to do is open a file manager (like nautilus and thunar) as root

sudo nautilus

(replace nautilus with your own filemanager). then, you change that folder's permission so that you are able to read it. make sure that you apply the permissions recursively. thats it. feel free to ask any questions.
