Bill,
Tried to reproduce this and could not - closed Firefox, clicked on a
link in Thunderbird that opens Firefox. All plugins are OK.
I have no plugins.dat, only
.mozilla/firefox/2ucxmtim.default/pluginreg.dat
firefox-3.0.4-1.el5.centos
thunderbird-2.0.0.18-1.el5.centos
Have had problems with disappearing plugins when first starting Firefox,
and then having them return after closing/restarting. Seemed to be a
function of historical user configs and updates as it was not
reproducible on a fresh user account. Never could find a bug report on
it and did not create one as it worked OK on a clean config. Perhaps
you could try this on a fresh account to check out that variable.
