Flash fails to initialize for Firefox 4.0b9, at least re Solaris 10 11/06.

"LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/opt/mozilla/firefox/firefox-4.0b9/plugins/libflashplayer.so [ld.so.1: 
firefox-bin: fatal: libssl3.so: open failed: No such file or directory]"

To summarize others' extended discussion of this issue, over at least three 
years, it appears the Flash plugin is compiled with absolute addresses, 
ignoring the current version of libssl3.so provided with firefox-4.0b9. 
Further, the ldd shows that the libssl3.so provided with Solaris 10 11/06 also 
fails.

Linking the vendor supplied libssl3.so on-top of the OS version of libssl3.so 
(preserving the original by mv to libss3.so-org is wise!) provides a more 
current version, but then breaks other applications such as sendmail. In 
addition, this is only the first lib that fails.

A wrapper seems possible, but the better question may be how to get Adobe's 
attention to recompile, since they are already doing so for Solaris anyway. The 
start-up script can then normally address variables such as determining paths.

Comments and discussion are encouraged.
Thanks.
