Description of problem: java, flashplayer, and any other type of plugin Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: every firefox update Steps to Reproduce: 1.undate system 2. 3. Actual results: broken links Expected results: not to have links broken due to updates Additional info: Why can links be transferred to the newer version of firefox? everytime firefox gets updated, I have to go though and redo all my plugin links. It is a pain. isn't there a way to have the update say search for plugins in the firefox directory, look at the symbolic link and then take that info and create a new link to the new firefox directory? Also I now have like 5 versions of firefox? why wouldn't the update remove those older versions?
Wait. Are you linking plugins to your firefox directory? That's wrong. The system plugins directory is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins It gets read by mozilla, firefox, epiphany, galeon, khtml, etc. Use that.
