When I install Flash plugin (or other plugins) by going to <https://addons.mozilla.org/> and following the instructions, the plugin is installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ . These plugins are not listed when I enter "about:plugins" in Firefox, and they do not appear to be active. However, if I link these plugin files to .mozilla/plugins/ then they are listed and are active. Is this normally required? Or have I omitted some step in installing plugins?
Mozilla delibarately distinguishes "addons" from "plugins".Addons are packages that integrates deeply into Firefox and friends and uses mozilla technology like XUL. Plugins are at a lower level and interfaces at the level of the systems dynamic linker.
Flash is a plugin, not an addon. I can't believe you got Flash from addons.mozilla.org.
That doesn't answer your questions, but I hope it helps a bit ;-) /Mads
