As usual, Mageia is way behind on their version of Firefox. They're on v. 38 when Firefox is up to v. 42 now.
So, I've downloaded the tar.gz and extracted it to /home/me/Extract, so I now have /home/me/Extract/firefox/.
Where exactly would I put the copy of libflashplayer.so? I've forgotten.
Isn't there another file I need to copy over as well for the flash plugin to work?
Thanks.

You could try to make a directory in ~/.mozilla called plugins and put it in there.
~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Restart Firefox and check that it is there by typing about:plugins in the address bar (should work).
The default placement after a normal install of flash-player-plugin is in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Oi.
What I ended up having to do was move the firefox folder to /home/me, then do what you said there about libflashplayer.so - make the plugins folder in ~/.mozilla then copy libflashplayer.so to there.
As long as the firefox folder was in /home/me/Extract, it seems that it didn't know where to look for libflashplayer.so.
All's well that ends well though.
Thanks!
