Hi gurus
I have a CentOS 5.2 current x86_64 that has Thunderbird and Firefox working
well for one user account (my wife) but will not play nice for my account.
    

Have you tried creating a new profile (not new Linux account) in
Firefox and see if the new profile will work with new installs of the
plugins? In Windows, profile manager starts by running firefox
-profilemanager, not sure exactly if the same works in Linux or you
gotta to a firefox --profilemanager.
  

Well, that works, I ignored the default profile, asked to create a new one and hey presto plugins are back.
Thanks
I do not know why deleting my .mozilla/ directory didn't do it the first time.
However this does not fix it for the firefox started from the gnome panel - it still has no plugins.
I deleted the default profile, it warns that it will delete all the files in the .mozilla/ folder but still no good......
Still something wrong???
So now I have to launch firefox with firefox --profilemanager ??
Confused, why so complicated!!
