Re: Firefox 1.5 plugins

[Ken Wahl <kwahl@nc.rr.com>]

What worked for me was re-creating the symlinks that were in
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins in the new plugin folder for
firefox 1.5 which is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

For example with the flashplugin-nonfree..

cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplayer.xpt flashplayer.xpt
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so

The above has to be done as root.

I also had to do this with my java , acrobat and helix player plugins.
The only plugins that automagically made the transition were the
mplayer plugins.
