Fedora's Firefox looks in /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/plugins, but some
3rd party plugin installers drop them in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Just
create sym-links from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to
/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/plugins, e.g.:
ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/plugins/
Firefox is *supposed* to use an internal search path to look for
plugins. (According to the last Mozilla documentation I read) its
supposed to include the current install directory (in this case
/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14.plugins), a generic firefox location (usually
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins) and the old mozilla directory
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. If Fedora is modifying this path, then they
are changing users expectations, which usually is a bad thing. However,
I will agree with you. I haven't had luck with the above either, and I
usually end up putting symlinks in place to make it work the way I want
it to.
