Mozilla plugins

I am trying to install plugins for Mozilla and they don't seem to show up after I install them. I followed the directions to install the flash plugin and the acrobat plugin and when I go into the Help > About Plugins, they aren't there. What's the deal?

What's the directions you followed? For Flash all you have to do is copy thelibflashplayer.so file to your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory. From there it should just... work.

What are you doing?

Cool

the libflashplayer.so is in the plugins folder but like I said before, the plugins don't appear in the Help > About Plugins. The directions I followed were provided by the Macromedia webpage.

What version of mozilla are you using? Where are you copying the files to? Can you post the contents of the directory you are copying the files to?

Oh, and I use:
about:plugins
to view my plugins.

I have two folders under my /usr/lib one is mozilla the other is mozilla-1.1 Now under the mozilla folder is where the executable file and stuff is and it has a plugins dir as well. In this plugins folder there are three files: flashplayer.xpt, libflashplayer.so, and libnullplugin.so. Now in the mozilla-1.1 folder there are no files just two dir, chrome and plugins. In this particular plugins folder there is only one file plugger.so. I hope this all helps.
