Hi, after countless hours of headaches I have found a slight problem with the 
default plugin location of firefox3 after being built from ports. The problem 
is that the default location is ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins
This directory seems to work fine for most plugins including flash....but the 
problem lies with java. When it the symbolic link is installed in this 
directory it does not work in firefox. Doesn't show up in about:plugins and 
doesn't work on any java page. A simple created directory for 
~/.mozilla/plugins and putting the symbolic link in there seems to do the 
trick. And all other plugins work in there too. So I guess I am wondering why 
this is like this or if it was simply missed or something. The default plugin 
directory for firefox3 port should be ~/.mozilla/plugins to avoid such 
confusion. Thank you for your time and reading this suggestion. I will be 
looking forward to a response on this subject. At the least maybe the 
reasonings for this if its needed to be like that for some reason. Thanks again.
