Is it enough to run mozilla-plugin-config -f -c while firefox is still opened? If I do that then I get the following:
homealone[2]mozilla-plugin-config -f -c
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-
and no loading of the plugins.
I also noted the following about the only plugin that is loaded originally:
After login about:config reports this only:
Installed plugins
Find more information about browser plugins at mozilla.org.
Help for installing plugins is available from plugindoc.mozdev.org.
Adobe Reader 8.0
File name: nppdf.so
The Adobe Reader plugin is used to enable viewing of PDF and FDF files from
within the browser.
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/pdf Portable Document Format pdf Yes
application/vnd.fdf Acrobat Forms Data Format fdf Yes
application/vnd.adobe.xfdf XML Version of Acrobat Forms Data Format
xfdf Yes
application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml Acrobat XML Data Package xdp Yes
application/vnd.adobe.xfd+xml Adobe FormFlow99 Data File xfd Yes
However after restart of firefox I get instead
File name: nswrapper_32_32.nppdf.so
(the rest is the same).
Something weird. Martin? Can you reproduce it after every login? If so, can you please attach output of: ll /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ll /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped when plugins are and are not available in firefox? Created attachment 310435 [details]
After restart

Before restart
It happens at every login. I have attached the output of ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins* before and after restart of Mozilla. I couldn't manage to get them attached to this comment so they are instead Comments #5 and #6. Another data point: The whole problem seems to be connected with Firefox being restarted as part of session restoration. If I quit Firefox, log out, log in again (which means that Firefox is not started automatically as it was not open when the session was closed) and *then* start Firefox, then all plugins get loaded. (In reply to comment #8) Yes, seems to be connected to session restoration. I have same problem - when FF started from session, plugins aren't loaded so I have to restart and then plugins are OK (same when started manually). I'm using KDE 4.0.5. I can provide more information even my laptop suffering with this bug. The plugin path is configured in /usr/bin/firefox starting script and this is the way how firefox is supposed to run. The plug-ins are not configured properly if you run firefox from it's current installation dir (like /usr/lib(64)/firefox-VERSION). It's definitely a bug in KDE. looks like another side effect of bug #437596 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 437596 *** |
