Hi ! I want ask mozylla developers about https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
I use Firefox 64bit for linux from above/this link, and I use PCLinuxOS which Firefox is divided on /usr , /lib and working, but exist 1 problem. First idea was in 64 bit system put plugins folder (from Firefox) to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ , and worked but problem was with plugins created for other linux distributions, not working on PCLinuxOS. Why ? Because other linux distributions like OpenSuse, Fedora use /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins Why using /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins ? Because this writing on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Plugins/Guide/Plug-in_Basics#How_Gecko_Finds_Plug-ins So I tried move folder from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins not working. Why ? Working with /usr/lib/ and not working with /usr/lib64/ ? First I tried debug Firefox binary with strace command, and I see Firefox use /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/plugins/ Can I ask why binary Firefox not using /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins ? This is firefox bug ? With help people now probably I know how it working on other linux distributions. Firefox running from script. ====================================================== #!/bin/bash export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins exec /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox ====================================================== But this not solved problem for people which use Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ because don't know about this trick. And here my main question. What we should do in PCLinuxOS ? 1. Wait for new version Firefox which will use also /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins ? 2. Fix this problem with script for now, like other linux distributions ? _______________________________________________ dev-builds mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-builds
