If you want a GUI, Synaptic or packagesearch can list files that are installed by a package. Otherwise, dpkg is your tool.

I'll give you a hint, Vanilla Firefox is not installed in Debian 9.1 (Stretch) by default, there is a package called "firefox-esr"
I would exchange everything I know in exchange for half of what I don't.

Then I guess "*title*" isn't what you meant after all.Agvaniot wrote:i searched which -a firefox and came up withdasein wrote:read man which

Come to think of it, if "*TITLE*" is all you can be bothered to say,
then *ANSWER* is all I'm prepared to say in response.

Have you tried the solution from this Mozilla support forum?

This is installed from tarball, 64 bit, installed to /usr/lib64/firefox. The proper location has changed to:
/usr/lib64/firefox/browser/plugins/
After untarring, the .../browser directory exists, but not .../browser/plugins, so it's not obvious that is the new home. The old directory (/usr/lib64/firefox/plugins/) no longer works.

For a single user, you can just put libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/
