Firefox 4 - where does it look for plugins?

[tingo]

Hello,

Where does Firefox 4 look for plugins?
With Firefox 3.x I used the /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins directory.
but Firefox 4 doesn't have a /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins directory.
The handbook talks about the /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins directory, but Firefox 4 doesn't pick up any plugins in there.

This is only on a per-user basis, but you can put things in

~/.mozilla/plugins/.

Firefox 4 doesn't have a /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins directory.

Have you tried to create it?

dev notes[/url]"]Default plugin removed
The default plugin has been removed. The application plugins folder has also been removed by default, however support for installing plugins via this folder still exists. See bug 533891

Yes, I should have mentioned that I am aware of this, and that is not what I want.

On Firefox 4, plugins are located in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19

# ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
