 |
|
Hello!
I had several plugins for firefox. I had Sun java in version 1.5 but today I've installed version 1.4 of java Blackdown. Now firefox uses older plugin. In /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins there are only 2 files and I have also mplayer flash and so on. So where do firefox looks for plugins? How can I change the paths of plugins? |

I know of three locations that get scanned for plugins:
~/.mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
/opt/netscape/plugins
Mplayer (actually most plugins) should be in the last location.
Why would you want to change them?

| check /opt/netscape/plugins/ , /usr/lib/nsbrowser/ , and /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/ . Those are the main areas. Another trick I use is to to do an equery f "package" to see where a specific package puts it's plugins. The java plugins get stomped with each "new" install of the slotted java release. |

| oops. I should have typed /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins . I typically put a link in this folder to the java plugin I want to use in the Firefox. ( ln -s /usr/local/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so . ) |
