87270 - Will not follow soft links for the plug-in folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 45699

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Peter of the Norse]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010620
BuildID:    2001062021

I know this really won't effect a lot of people, so it's going to be lost in the
shuffle, but when I download the latest build, I like to keep the same plugins
every time. So I have an external directory that I keep everything in. I have to
copy it every time, but I would rather just link it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ln -s /usr/share/plugins /usr/local/mozilla/plugins


Actual Results:  About plug-ins says none are installed. 

Expected Results:  It should have listed about 3 pages of plug-ins.
