I was confused by the command you listed for a sec, but then realized from the Website that this is an example of a command to enable a particular plugin. There's apparently another set of parameters that will update all plugins in a specific set of directories usually including /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins among others. nspluginwrapper -v -a -u I also checked via rpm -ql as you mentioned and it does appear that the correct binary to use is /usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config. If that's the case, the correct command in F8 to search for and update all plugins in specific directories is: /usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config -v -a -u I'll post back if I get this working.
