What does running this command manually do that restarting the browser
doesn't? I've never had to run mozilla-plugin-config manually. I install
flash-plugin from the repo (either Adobe's 32-bit or Leigh's 64-bit) with the
necessary extra packages from the instructions, then quit and restart the
browser. A little testing shows that the nswrapper_??_??.libflashplayer.so file
is created automatically when the browser is restarted (part of the "check the
plugin" instructions). Running "mozilla-plugin-config -i" creates the file, but
the browser doesn't immediately recognize it, so I have to restart the browser
anyway.
