places where you can put plugins for Mozilla:
1. in the mozilla application directory /mozilla/plugins
2. in the user profile directory profilename(default/plugins if there
isn't a plugin directory in either location create one. there may be a
default plugin something like libnull in there it's supposed to handle
getting new plugins I think.
to see what mozilla recognizes as available plugins, in the Browser type
the location:
about:plugins
good luck windows user. I've never run Mozilla on Windows, just Linux,
but I can use all these plugins:
