lightspark in Firefox doesn't show up

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 12304 / 2 Years ago, mon, february 14, 2022, 5:24:14

I have installed LightSpark Flash Player alternative from what is called the official PPA: https://launchpad.net/~sparkers/+archive/ppa (I mean, I added this repository and then sudo apt-get install lightspark).

But Firefox doesn't feel it. It looks exacly like when I hadn't installed LightSpark. In "Firefox -> Addons -> Plugins" there is no new entry.

What should I do to really use Lightspark after installing it?
