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?Sorry to repeat an earlier posting, but I never got a response to what seems to me to be a fairly important question. Is this problem specific to me? Or does everyone using Firefox under F-10 have to make this link?
You are absolutely right. Some stracing helped me to find out that /usr/bin/firefox contains: ## ## Select the propper plugin dir ## Wrapped plug-ins are located in /lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped ## if [ -x "/usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config" ] then MOZ_PLUGIN_DIR="plugins-wrapped" else MOZ_PLUGIN_DIR="plugins" fi ## ## Make sure that we set the plugin path ## if [ "$MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH" ] thenMOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=$MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH:$MOZ_LIB_DIR/mozilla/$MOZ_PLUGIN_DIR:$MOZ_DIST_BIN/$MOZ_PLUGIN_DIR
elseMOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=$MOZ_LIB_DIR/mozilla/$MOZ_PLUGIN_DIR:$MOZ_DIST_BIN/$MOZ_PLUGIN_DIR
fi export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATHSo: you can either accept that it looks in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/, uninstall nspluginwrapper, or you can set the environment variable MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH to something that matches what you expect.
That behaviour was surprising to me. And apparently to you too. /Mads
