Re: Doesn't mozilla search somewhere in $HOME for plugins?

Hi,

I'm trying to install the shockwave plugin for netscape in mozilla 0.9.4-5.

With netscape, you can put it in $HOME/.netscape/plugins, but there doesn't
seem to be dir like that in mozilla.

I've straced mozilla (bzip2ed and attached) but it doesn't seem to be
looking anywhere in my home directory for plugins.


Plugins shouldg go to /[path to mozilla binary's dir]/plugins.
Mine is /usr/local//mozilla/plugins.

Drop there ShockFlashwave.class and  libflashplayer.so
and shockwave should work.



Did I miss something?

grep -i plug mozilla-strace.log:

This one looks interesting:
stat64("/home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp", 0xbfff6bcc) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 

If I mkdir /home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp and copy the
flash plugin files there it:
open("/home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 27 stat64("/home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp/ShockwaveFlash.class", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2363, ...}) = 0 unlink("/home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp/ShockwaveFlash.class") = 0 stat64("/home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp/libflashplayer.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=947992, ...}) = 0 unlink("/home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp/libflashplayer.so") = 0 
rmdir("/home/mfedyk/.mozilla/default/391bapwq.slt/plugtmp") = 0

So that's not it...

Flash is in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for now...
