adobe-flashplugin needs directory being set up

[sm8ps]

As explained in the thread adobe-flashplugin.sce installed, but do not work?, the directory '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/' needs to exist for the extension to work.
Would http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/import/firefox-data.tar.gz be the appropriate place for having it created?

Hi
I use adobe-flash-properties-gtk which creates /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
look in the postinst script.

I use adobe-flash-properties-gtk which creates /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
look in the postinst script.

Not working here; I just tried it on dCore-trusty. The extension does start and creates a functional menu entry however it does not create that directory and there is no Flash in Firefox.

Strangely enough I do not see either any postinst script nor any matching one under '/usr/local/tce.installed/' for that matter. Is it different for you?

always the tce.installed script lauches the postinst script:

Hi
I think you are right sm8ps
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is not created
