Ok I am not sure if anyone else out there is having some of the problems, so I will just start this thread to see what everyone else thinks. Ok I know that there is a thread on Flash not installing correctly, but I can not get any plugins to work. I try to install java-vm, and it will not list in Plugins either. After doing the installes of the plugins many different ways, nothing is listed under plugins period. Not to mention I have the new nVidia drivers installed, so I know it is not a driver problem.

Also I was wondering where the list of plugins on Firebird .7 is?

To see what plugins are installed, type aboutlugins into the addressbar. Have you tried installing the plugins into ~/.mozilla/plugins? Firebird makes the ~/.mozilla folder. You'll have to
cd ~/.mozilla
mkdir plugins
and then install your plugins in there.
