Firefox 1.5

I just downloaded and extracted Firefox 1.5. I can run it through the gui just by running the firefox file, and it imports all of my bookmarks, so I'll probably just move it to my home directory so I can add new plugin files and things without needing to use the gui. Anyway, I can get everything working great except I have the mplayerplug-in package installed so I can watch embedded media files. What file would I need to edit to tell it where the new firefox browser is located?

Problem solved, I just copied the mplayerplug-in.so file into the main plugins directory of the new firefox version and then moved it all into my home directory and updated all of the shortcuts. This will make it a little quicker to add plugins at a later date, plus now that it's in a custom directory it's a pure version of the browser and not the default Mandriva release that always says 1.0.2 in the about dialog, even if it's 1.0.7. Sweet action, 1.5 rocks.
