Check the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory for that account. Maybe you have
a broken Java plugin masking the real one.
That directory is empty for this user.

Also, check about:plugins from within Firefox.

Cool, thanks for this tip, I never knew about this.

For the broken user, I don't have java in this list.  For other users, I do.

That could happen if the other users have the plugin in their respective
~/.mozilla/plugins directories, instead of it being in a centralized
location.


All of the user .mozilla/plugins directories are empty.

I don't see java in the ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat file for the broken user, but I do for the working users.

I even renamed the .mozilla directory for the broken user and restarted firefox, however, still no java in about:plugins or pluginreg.dat file.

How/when does firefox go looking for plugins?

See http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/

You might also want to go to about:config in Firefox and set the boolean
value 'plugin.expose_full_path' to True (right-click and select Toggle
if it's False). This will show you the complete pathname of each plugin
in about:plugins.

Wow, sweet.

Okay, the broken user is using plugins from /usr/lib/firefox while the others use /usr/lib/mozilla. I didn't even know there was a /usr/lib/firefox.

The broken user has a "null plugin"

So, I did this:

im# find . -name '*libnull*' -print
./firefox/plugins/libnullplugin.so
./esc-1.0.1/xulrunner/plugins/libnullplugin.so
./firefox-2.0.0.16/plugins/libnullplugin.so
./seamonkey-1.1.11/plugins/libnullplugin.so

What makes one user go to /usr/lib/firefox instead of mozilla?
