/usr/lib/browser/plugins

savvy guys backup their original files before tinkering with questionable binaries

I just tried and found that it works and is very simple to do.

Firefox mobile lists /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so as the location of its flash player, but also has a copy located in /home/user/.mozilla/plugins. The current build of firefox mobile(4.0b1) has plugins disabled so I cannot test these changes.

Simple Install Guide:
1. Obtain file from TI
2. On a linux pc run the file(you will need to enable exec rights on the file)
3. Follow the installer and then go to the path specified in the installer and grab the libflashplayer.so
4. Copy libflashplayer.so to somewhere on your n900(via ssh or via mass storage mode)
5. sudo gainroot
mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.bak
if copied to mass storage: cd /home/user/MyDocs/
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
6. start the browser and it should all work

Yeah, the hardest part would be to actually 'obtain file from TI'.....it sounds so easy.....oh well, no flash 10.1 for the N900 but I don`t care....

Nope. The only benefit of having Flash 10 (via that TI plugin right now) is to use Flash 10 specific features. There is no other optimization provided.

Actually it seems to have worse performance then the original, and some weird red box on the top left on youtube.

Can anyone confirm this?
