Up until I switched the last enduser system to EL 6 (SL 6) from EL 5 a few
months ago, I was installing all of the Mozilla end user suites with no
issue from the Mozilla site: Firefox, Thunderbird/Lightning, and Seamonkey.
These were not the RPMs but rather the compressed tar files that I simply
untar into a subdirectory (generally, /usr/lib/foobar as in /usr/lib/firefox
-- and run /usr/lib/firefox/firefox ).
I have downloaded the 64bit version from the mozilla ftp site and it
does work out of the box. However, no plugins are detected.
I have uncompressed the tar file in /usr/local/firefox, by the way,
but not a huge difference.
Has anyone gotten the 64 bit firefox version to work from mozilla.org
and SL 6.1 with flash/java/etc. ?
TIA,
In Firefox, on the top menu bar
Tools --> Add Ons --> Plugins
displays which plugins Firefox recognizes.
However, Firefox seems to require that plugins are in a specific
directory. If memory serves, this directory is:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
In my case,
ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
yields

These are actual plugins, not helper applications.
