From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041012 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Firefox sets itself up wrong as the default gnome web browser. First I set Firefox up to be the default web browser using Preferences->More Preferences->Preferred Applications. If I then launch firefox directly or have it launched by evolution from a link, two things to note. First, it prompts that it's not the default web browser, would you like to make it the default. Note I just said I set it to be the default in the preferences. Selecting yes causes it to set itself up wrong as the default gnome browser. A quick check of about:plugins shows all system installed plugins available. Note this is the same initial invocation. Now quit firefox and launch it via a link in evolution. Check about:plugins and see none (or at least no system wide plugins that hang out in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.) Now quit and launch it again from the menu or a launcher and the system wide plugins are there. So however firefox sets itself up as the preffered gnome web browser makes it not search system directories for plugins. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-0.10.1-1.0PR1.10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above 2. 3. Additional info:
