Because I am using dual screen with NVIIDA fullscreenhack for flash player is needed. So I installed it and can use the following command to use it.. Code: Select all `env LD_PRELOAD=/build/fullscreenhack/libfshack-npapi.so firefox-nightly` And everything is fine. But if I edit the launcher for firefox-nightly it does not work. Is there something special I need to use?

Instead, you'll need to write something along these lines into a script file, and set the command of the menu entry to be this script. Make sure you retain any %u or %U entries, and their respective quotes when making this change. Code: Select all `export LD_PRELOAD=/build/fullscreenhack/libfshack-npapi.so firefox-nightly $@` KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]
