224400 - plugins installed in ~/.phoenix/plugins/ wont work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 172891

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Cédric BARBOIRON]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

I tried to install my flash and java plugins as I used to do with Mozilla, in
the 'plugins' directory in my profile, but they didn't load at restart
(about:plugins only listed libnullplugin).

I installed them in the Firebird directory (/usr/local/MozillaFirebird/plugins/
for me) and they work normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put a link to libjavaplugin_oji.so into ~/.phoenix/plugins/
2. (Re)start Firebird
3. Look at 'about:plugins'

Actual Results:  
The java plugin isn't listed

Expected Results:  
The java plugin should have been listed

[Peter Strömberg]

firefox looks for plugins in ~/.mozilla/plugins/, not in ~/.phoenix/

This appears to be a duplicate, so I'm marking it as such.
