Running SuSE 8.2 on an Athlon 1.3GHz Thunderbird, I reproducibly find that the browser plug-ins for Realplayer and Flash don't work in Mozilla. This happens with all versions of Mozilla, including the version included on the SuSE CDs (1.2.1 I believe), the current version 1.4 and the 1.5 beta from the mozilla.org page, and the 1.4 RPM from usr-local-bin.org.
Dennis, Are you putting the actual plugins into your /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins directory? If so, try making them symlinks to the real plugins. I am finding from many of these, that symlinks work better and in fact, are needed rather than the actual plugins.
I've tried the symlink procedure in the meantime, with no beneficial effect at all. This doesn't seem to be it. Would there be any benefit, in plump Windows style, in just re-installing SuSE altogether? I get the impression that there must be something amiss deep in the system, considering that nobody else seems to have this problem and things work fine here on my Pentium II office machine also.
