Description of problem: Currently browser plugins like flash doesn't work because midori is searching these plugins in /usr/lib/browser_plugins which doesn't exist Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): midori-0.3.6-1.fc15.i686 How reproducible: allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. install midori 2. make shure flash plugin is installed 3. navigate midori to youtube or an other site using flash Actual results: Flash is not working Expected results: Flash should work Additional info: Creating a symlink /usr/lib/browser_plugins which points to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins solves the problem
Strange. The string "browser_plugins" doesn't appear even once in the entire midori source. ;) How did you see it was looking in this directory? What does 'which -a midori' and 'about:version' in midori report?
I read at http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=16942 that midori seems to look for that directory and gave it a (successful) try. 'which -a midori' says: /usr/bin/midori 'about:version' says: about:version Versionsnummern in Klammern geben Versionen zur Laufzeit an.

I have no idea what freebsd is doing, but fedora doesn't use that dir at all. ;) If you install flash via: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash Does it work as you expect?
My fault. Midori cheated me by deactivating plugins in its private browsing mode. When I run midori in normal mode all plugins are activated without /usr/lib/browser_plugins
