One of the things I did long ago was in self defense since an upgrade of the browser always destroyed your plugins and you had to go out on the net and hunt them down again. So I now have a /usr/lib/plugins directory that contains these: [root@coyote ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/plugins total 1644 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12720 2006-12-29 22:25 kaffeineplugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2008-04-01 02:16 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2008-04-04 09:05 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/latest/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281116 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in-dvx.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 253933 2005-09-13 19:03 mplayerplug-in-gmp.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 932 2005-09-13 19:03 mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281116 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in-rm.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281880 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281116 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in-wmp.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2007-12-01 18:41 mplayerplug-in.xpt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 2008-04-01 02:16 nphelix.so -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 2008-04-01 02:16 nphelix.xpt -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 127260 2008-08-05 15:51 nppdf.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34732 2007-02-12 07:46 nsdejavu.so And all of the browsers have had their plugins subdir nuked and softlinked to this one. Note that is NOT the ICED TEA crippled java either. >Youtube works fine, though; never a glitch.
