I AM using the vanilla binary tarball from mozilla.com and not the fedora distributed rpm. So, I am not having any issues with any of my plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. The mozilla.com's FF binary has no trouble finding the plugins. > Mozilla says to use /firefox/plugins. Would using Fedora's directories > work? Maybe.

You know, some of those "directions" are probably ancient and have not been updated, ans so, they have kept the code in FF to also search /firefox/plugins. Also, how come the vanilla binary from mozilla.com does not create /firefox/plugins when you untar the tarball as root? I have never used /firefox/plugins I have no plugins in my home directory. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
