I don't think this has to do with the location of plugins directory
that I use. /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is also searched for plugins, and as
I already mentioned in my original message, other plugins that are in that
directory do work. Also everything works fine on CentOS 4 machines this way.
I think this problem is specific to flash plugin on Fedora Core 6.
Mabye you don't have the libraries?
