If nspluginwrapper is installed then plugins are searched
in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped and not in
/usr/lib64/mozilla/pluggins.  I am not sure if this is explicitely
stated anywhere but look inside a shell script called
/usr/bin/firefox.  It does not matter if you have any other
plugins.  If nspluginwrapper is installed that is it.

You should try 'mozilla-plugin-config -i' instead.  By default this
script runs "check"; at least currently.  I know that there is some
confusion here. See 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351271

Plugins packages most likely should have a conditional rerun of
'mozilla-plugin-config -i', if such thing is available, in triggers.
Of course this does not help very much with external plugins.
