Local plugins for FireFox?

["Paul Smith" <pausmith@nortelnetworks.com>]

Hi all;

I have the latest FireFox from sid installed on my system, and I'm
invoking it with /usr/bin/firefox.

If I add plugins to the system plugin directory,
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins, then they work fine.

But, I want to install some plugins in my local plugin directory;
according to all the docs, Google searches, etc. I found that should be
~/.mozilla/plugins (even for FireFox).

But, when I add things there and restart my browser, they aren't found.
If I copy those same files to the system plugin directory and restart
the browser, they are found and work fine.


Is this directory not correct?  Is the Debian install of FireFox setting
some variable or something that causes it to look elsewhere?  Does
anyone else have this working?

Thanks for any help!
