After years of compiling firefox I decided that I get no advantage |
2 |
from doing it :p |
3 |
|
4 |
So I just emerged firefox-bin and discovered that it doesn't find |
5 |
any of the plugins in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins. |
6 |
|
7 |
The gentoo ebuild patches the source code to use nsbrowser/plugins |
8 |
for the default plugins location, but the firefox-bin ebuild can't |
9 |
patch the source code so it does something different, and on this |
10 |
machine it doesn't work. |
11 |
|
12 |
I just finished downgrading this particular machine from ~x86 to |
13 |
plain x86, so there may indeed be something wrong in my general |
14 |
environment. |
15 |
|
16 |
Anyone here running firefox-bin, and how does it find your plugins? |

(There are at least two easy ways to fix the problem. You can |
19 |
make a symlink from /usr/lib/nsbrowser to /usr/lib/mozilla, or |
20 |
you can make a symlink from /opt/firefox/plugins to |
21 |
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins, either method works.) |
