Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2007-10-29 07:18:29 UTC

Why do you install it to /usr/lib/firefox2.0.0.8/plugins/? Try
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, this is the supposed place for all mozilla plugins.

Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2007-10-29 17:18:29 UTC

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in
one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

Comment 3 Prasad 2007-10-29 18:19:18 UTC

Hello,

Thanks for taking a look at this problem. Given that I am running firefox
2.0.0.8, I installed the plugin under /usr/lib/firefox2.0.0.8 directory. Having
said that I copied the same plugin under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ directory and
the behavior is the same.

I will remove the plugin from firefox/plugins directory and see if the behavior
will be different.

Thanks

-- Prasad

Comment 4 Prasad 2007-10-29 19:11:31 UTC

I did one more test.

If I just have the plugin under mozilla/plugins directory, the browser is not
detecting the plugin and it is prompting me to install the missing plugin.

If I have it under firefox2.0.0.8/plugins directory, it recognizes the plugin
but fails to load and eventually the verification process fails if you use the
URL pasted in the bug.

Thanks

Comment 5 Martin Stransky 2007-10-30 13:32:56 UTC

Is there any change if you remove the nspluginwrapper package?

Comment 6 Prasad 2007-10-31 21:30:08 UTC

There is no nspluginwrapper installed. As my work is getting blocked by this bug
and another, I wiped FC8 and installed Ubuntu. I won't be of much help going
forward.
