Firefox plugins: where are they now, in 10.1beta3?
Before 10.1 the firefox plugins were symlinks in the firefox/plugins directory. Now, in that directory (/usr/lib/firefox/plugins) there is only the null plugin. Yet, about:plugins shows flash, acrobat, java. How are they located now, in 10.1? I ask because I have a problem with not displaying PDFs from firefox in beta3. In about:plugins there's dragon egg and acrobat reader. But I still don't get any .pdf displayed in browser. I'd like to remove dragon egg/acrobat and see what happens. In any case, it's still a bug.

/usr/lib/browser-plugins and /usr/lib/browser-extensions One location, all browsers can use it. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

James already answered this.

Removing nppdf does not fix the problem. PDFs are not displayed in Firefox. Removing libdragonegg does. Acrobat is loaded in Firefox and the page is displayed. Konqueror uses kpdf regardless of acrobat being installed or not.
