I keep its plugins directory up-to-date. I also have a /usr/lib/firefox symlink. I have to keep changing it everytime I install a new firefox to point to th new firefox directory. My plugins don't work properly until I copy them into the /usr/lib/firefox-X.Y.Z.A/plugins directory. Despite what the documentation says. Its a pain, but it works for me. Now, if you can tell me what it is that I am doing that is breaking how Fedora is supposed to work, I will file a bugzilla so that Fedora can fix it. The Firefox documentation clearly states that it looks for plugins in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and the current /usr/lib/firefox-X.Y.Z.A/plugs directory. By that statement, I should only have to put the plugins in one of them to get them to work. Under Fedora, its doesn't seem to work that way. (at least for me it doesn't) -- Kevin J.
