I searched all distributions for the package. It's not there.

It's a good question. I do have the options enabled, however.

I have not tried running mozilla as root. Maybe that will help. I
just tried to get the plugin yesterday. It was odd: the dowload was
much longer than the site said, and also much larger (at least 15mg).
I wonder if permission issues are making it retry...
By the way, does anyone know if there's anywhere I might still find the plugin download on my disk? It was in /tmp while it was downloading.
