[SWLUG] Re: Discuss digest, Moz and Firefox

I thing you probably just need to symlink the plugin into the firefox 
(or whatever) browser's plugin directory.

E.g. a lot of installers will put the plugin in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins
or somewhere similar (check /usr/local/lib too and sometimes in /opt). I 
symlink the files under this directory to for e.g. 
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ on my Red Hat boxes, or 
/usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/plugins/ on the gentoo boxes. 

To illustrate, here's the output of ls -lF on one of the dirs:

total 23
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           37 Feb 11 20:47 flashplayer.xpt -> /opt/netscape/plugins/flashplayer.xpt
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           66 Feb 11 20:47 javaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           39 Feb 11 20:47 libflashplayer.so -> /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           70 Mar 22 10:16 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        19864 Mar  9 20:30 libnullplugin.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           42 Feb 11 20:47 nppdf.so -> /opt/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so

Apologies for the horrible formatting! Anyone know a prettier way to 
include 'ls -l's output in an email?

Cheers,
