Save yourself from future annoyances and put all your custom plugins
into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

To whomever is creating the rpm update script for Firefox/Mozilla: 
Please just copy over everything in the previous plugins directory to
the new directory and then delete the older version's directory. 
There is no point in saving the old directory if you are blowing
everything else away.
