problem removing Mozilla 1.4 which came with FC1

[Ko Pu]

Well, I guess I'll have to upgrade to Mozilla 1.6. The reason for removing 
it is that some of the plugins goes directly into /usr/lib/Mozilla/plugins 
directory instead of going to /usr/local/Netscape/plugins (I've installed 
netscape 7.1).

Thanks to all the replies, it certainly helped me to get familiar with FC1.

Thanks in advance for your comment/suggestion
