So ... the library is installed, but Firefox doesn't see it. |

OK ... I'm going to re-emerge Firefox and see if I can get the plugin to |
| 90 |
show up in "about:plugins". |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
By the way, the "URL" in question is actually an R language help page |
| 93 |
that uses Java for searches. They might well have done something uncool |
| 94 |
Java-wise, and this is a known issue for the R people. I also installed |
| 95 |
seamonkey and tried to get it to work there and it didn't work, but it |
| 96 |
didn't complain about a missing plugin either. So stay tuned ... |
