OK. Sorry to have bothered you. It seems to be a problem of that
specific user (me). The others on the same machines see the
/usr/lib/mozilla-plugins without a problem.

I was using a "tar-installed to /opt" Firefox3 before. I guess it must
have fiddled around with some settings in ~/.mozilla (but obviously
not the fault of the RPMs)
