I want no monuments

I’ve needed it twice during the last weeks and I’ve always had to look for it, so I’ll summarize it briefly.

You need nspluginwrapper. Install it through your distro package catalog system. Then:

• download the flash plugin (or whatever 32bit plugin you can’t have on your brand new 64bit box, a compatibility list is here)
• COPY (as their installer won’t work) the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins
• run (as a normal user)
  nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

Close Firefox and go to some “flashed” page to check if the plugin is working correctly. YouTube or Google video for instance.
