Or ~/.mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or ....?  As someone
just starting with Fedora Core 6, I had a difficult time getting the
plugins installed and working, and then two time later updates messed me
up, and the last time I am not sure what messed it up.  But because I am
using my old 466Mhz Celeron with 256Mb of memory I don't want to waste
developers time with a bugzilla against this old, slow, memory
constrained system (even though it is more powerful that the CRAY that
was used in the 60's.)
