Humm, without it, 'about:plugins' was showing only the link to flashplayer, now it shows the whole maryann, about 4 screens high of other plugins. Are you saying that I can nuke the other 8 or 10 plugins dirs I've got? I tried making all of them softlinks and had that working fairly well when I was running FC2, but hadn't taken the time to sort that all out for FC6 yet... I've been wishing that somehow, someone would manage to get it all in one sock someday, this 10+ copies of "browsername-version/plugins" dir crap in at least 2 branches of the filesystem tree is a genuine PITA when doing browseer updates and has been for years. >-- >Mike Chambers >Madisonville, KY > >"Best little town on Earth!" -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
