hey
i used to use redhat and fedora for years
got a copy of opensuse 10 and installed it but i can't seem to find the firefox plugin directory to put the java plugin.
does anyone know where it is?
i put the plugin in /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/
but that doesn't seem to work.. should i maybe create a plugin folder or is it elsewhere?

check to see if its in /opt/mozilla/firefox/plugins

sorry i dont have suse so i cant be sure

i've tried putting the plugin in these directories so far:
/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ (created the plugins directory myself)
/opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins/
and also /usr/lib/browser-plugins/
i believe i've tried a couple other directories but can't remember what they are
this is really weird
i checked out the pluginreg.dat file in /home/username/.mozilla/firefox and it gave me the /opt path as a source of a couple plugins thats why i tried it
even added the java plugin to the file and it still won't work
:/
i hate java so much i don't even have any use for it myself this is all so my gf can play a stupid java game she's addicted to
;/

So why did you answer then?

ok i checked out mozilla's website and they don't have a clue either
so i ended up uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it added the plugin to the directory and it works fine
this message is to suse: stop messing around basic paths and things and if you do, put some darned notes in an easy to find place you distromakers

Tidied up the post somewhat
