[SOLVED] Firefox Plugins Will Not Show Up

abrinister · 04-19-2011, 07:22 AM

Hi all. I heard all about the awesomeness of Firefox 4 and decided to ditch the old Fedora default one (3.6.16). I put the firefox folder in the .mozilla directory and I run it from there. The problem is that the only plugin I have is the 64-bit Flash plugin (because it is the only one in the plugins folder in the .mozilla directory). I have no idea where the other plugins for things like Adobe Reader an VLC are. If anyone knows Fedora well, please help, because I want my plugins to work in the new Firefox.

Thanks

Alex

Wouldn't it be easier to install them again on FF4? It doesn't take much time. Please note that some plugins for 3.x might not yet be compatible with 4.x

I'm running FF4 on the latest Fedora 15 beta (64-bit).
