I Entered This Command By Accident
 
What does it do?

cd /home/c/firefox_download ./plugins

It changes directory to /home/c/firefox_download.

You will enter /home/c/firefox_download, nothing else. The cd command takes 1 option, the rest (./plugins in this case) will be ignored.

The command shown doesn't make sense, it looks like something is missing.

This, for example, would execute ./plugins if the cd /home/c/firefox_download command was successful:
Code:
cd /home/c/firefox_download &&./plugins
Hope this helps.
