Versions are the same (as they should be, ~/.mozilla/plugins links to /usr/lib/browser-plugins, this is what the rpm uses as well right?). Well, yes and no.
If you install the rpm it puts the plugins in /usr/lib/browser-plugins.
If you use the INSTALLER version of Firefox from mozilla.org then it will also--by default--put them into the same directory (/usr/lib/browser-plugins). With the installer version you do have the option to install Firefox in a directory of your choice--and I always install it in my /home directory.
Installer version ? Where is that ? :-)
Good question. Looks like its been done away with and the last one I can see is here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/packages/ dated last December. I guess they figured out that Linux users were a lot smarter than Windows users and stopped providing the installer version for Linux. The Windows one is still going :-) .
I just extracted Firefrom from the tar.gz....
From what you show above, you seem to have installed Firefox in your /directory which is why you show '~/.mozilla/plugins' because the plugins directory does not normally show up in your /home directory. So, what you have to do is to copy everything from /usr/lib/browser-plugins into your ~/.mozilla/plugins; *then* you will have both the same.
... and copied it to /home/zly/Programs/Firefox.
I don't know if this is a typo or deliberate and whether this makes a difference to the problem but the name of the extracted directory from the tar.gz file is 'firefox' and not 'Firefox'. With eveything being case sensitive I wonder if the 'F' has anything to do with anything.
It seems to use /home/zly/.mozilla/plugins, which is linked to /usr/lib/browser-plugins, so again, it does use the same versions.
Sorry, but why the "link"? If you copied everything from the /usr/lib directory to the /home plugin directory then there is no need for any links to /usr/lib/browser-plugins.
One other thing: you haven't messed around with the version of java installed with Suse? The symlink in the plugins now points to the 1.4.2 version and if install the 1.5 version then you have to alter the symlink.
libjavaplugin_oji.so in /usr/lib/browser-plugins is a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0...etc..., so that should not cause problems.
The default installation for Firefox installs java 1.42 and not 1.5 so you either upgraded to 1.5 or deliberately chose 1.5 during the original install and deselected 1.42.
Another thing, do you have the NoScript extension installed?
Nope.
OK.
Just to remind you of the original post, Firefox (the RPM version) actually DOES play sound, when closing down TeamSpeak which only occupies /dev/dsp0, where as the version from mozilla.org happily uses /dev/dsp, even when teamspeak is running.
I don't use TeamSpeak (can't even find in on the list of installed or available software) so cannot comment on what it uses but I have just started the tar.gz version of Firefox and also the RPM version as installed by SUSE and both are using /dev/dsp.
