where to put mozplugger for firefox?


What is the proper plugin folder for firefox? I put the mozplugger file in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins but if I start it I don't see the plugin in preferences nor is my mime-type list updated.

Put all of your plugins in one of the following, depending on which you have

~/.mozilla/plugins
~/.firefox/plugins
