i am running the 0.8.1 packages from Kitame's site. > > Can anyone tell me how to get plugins to be recognized by Mozilla? well i installed the flash plugin (the Free Software version, not the proprietary shockwave) by simply copying the file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: [EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins total 324 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13656 Apr 17 20:56 libnullplugin.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 310591 Mar 22 15:57 npflash.so [EMAIL PROTECTED] eb]$ ls -ld /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 17 21:07 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins i then reran the mozilla postinst for good measure, though i don't think thats actually necessary for plugins, just componants and chrome. just run: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla.postinst as root. the plugin works fine. i do not run mozilla as root either ;-) perhaps the plugins your using are simply incompatible with mozilla? try the Free flash plugin instead of the proprietary one. i do wish mozilla would look for plugins in /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins so non-packaged plugins can be dropped there, All your /usr/lib are belong to dpkg afterall... this works for netscape i have the same plugin installed for netscape at /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins.
