Are you using nspluginwrapper?  If so, the version distributed in F9 has
a problem: the setup program, mozilla-plugin-config, sets up the wrapped
plugins in such a way that Firefox fails to find any plugins at all.  I
have fixed this by removing  nspluginwrapper.rpm (using yum), and then
downloading and installing the plugin and viewer RPMs from the
developer's site:
	http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/

I haven't been able to find out exactly what mozilla-plugin-config does
that bothers Firefox so much, or why Firefox fails to report its trouble
with bad plugins.  If you can find out any more, please report it to the
appropriate bugzillas; I'm unwilling to report a bug as (basically)
"something is broken".

All the best - jon

Good Luck - jon
