Firefox flash plugin - Not working
Hi Friends,
I have installed Firefox and it is working perfect. Now when i installed the flash plugin and tried to access a flash file embedded html file, it is not working.
The error log is as follows:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF data format: ELFDATA2MSB]
For your information the Firefox version is
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS i86pc; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061009 Firefox/2.0
The same was not working with my default Mozilla browser also, because of which i have installed Firefox browser. Here also not working. Pls help me out

ELFDATA2MSB suggests a ELF plugin with a big-endian format, which may be a problem on a little-endian i86pc.
What is the output of elfdump on your libflashplayer.so file?
As an example, here is the output from a Sparc Solaris 10 installation:
bash-3.00$ elfdump -e /usr/sfw/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
ELF Header
ei_magic:{ 0x7f, E, L, F }
ei_class:ELFCLASS32 ei_data:ELFDATA2MSB
e_machine: EM_SPARCe_version:EV_CURRENT
e_type:ET_DYN
e_flags: 0
e_entry:0x6e970 e_ehsize:52 e_shstrndx:466
e_shoff: 0x226238 e_shentsize: 40 e_shnum:468
e_phoff:0x34 e_phentsize: 32 e_phnum:3
