Opera plug-ins

If you can't get Opera working with Mozilla plug-ins, such as flashplayer, you probably don't have to install some another software. All you have to do is just to add mozilla plug-in directory path in Opera's configuration tool.

Current Opera package has it configured correctly, so you don't need to change anything. Plugins like flash work out-of-box if you have it installed. Some others, like mplayer-plugin, however still refuse to work.


The following are steps which are not needed anymore. In Opera 8.51 follow these steps: 

pacman -S flashplugin
  • Open Tools => Preferences in Opera
  • Click on the Advanced tab and select Content
  • Open Plug-in options...
  • Open Change path...
  • Open Add
  • Select /opt/mozilla-plugins/ and press OK
  • Open Add
  • Select /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/ and press OK
  • Enjoy!  ;-)
