Further the Plugins window. Those displayed have no relation to what is in /usr/lib/firefox.x.x/plugins so I ma not sure where the ones I see come from, nor how to get the right ones displayed. And none of this has anything to do with what is displayed in the about:plugins web address. How does one deal with plugins in an organized way?
firefox collects plugins from several places: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ /usr/lib/firefox-<version>/plugins/ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ about:plugins does display a filename for each entry - if you want to find where it's living, just do, eg: locate mplayerplug-in-qt.so The download actions window _sometimes_ associates plugins with filetypes (don't ask me when and why), but it's more for a case when you may have checked the "Always use this program to open this file type". Eg, try downloading an rpm from a website - firefox will ask if you want to download it or open it with the Software Installer. -- Mark Knoop
