The package that Fedora provides looks in /usr/lib mozilla/plugins, as you wrote, and also in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins on 64 bit systems. Mozilla says to use /firefox/plugins. Would using Fedora's directories work? Maybe. I don't know because I just followed Mozilla's directions, it is their program after all, and have had no problems over the years. -- David -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
