Always. I've got another hint.

What I do to reproduce it is this:
1. I remove the .mozilla directory in my home directory.
2. I start firefox from the command line
3. A dialog comes up and asks if I want to import any settings. I select 
"don't import anything".
4. In the main window's address field, I type "about:plugins"

At that moment, on stdout several messages are written:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXt.so [libXt.so: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXext.so [libXext.so: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so 
[/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: undefined 
symbol: XtCalloc]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so 
[/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: undefined 
symbol: XtCalloc]

The Firefox window reports no plugins.

Oddly, after quitting and repeating from step 2, I no longer get the 
messages about libXt.so and libExt.so (is that cached in the profile?)

I tried a workaround: I added ~/lib/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and there 
created symlinks libXt.so -> /usr/lib/libXt.so.6 and libXext.so -> 
/usr/lib/libXext.so.6; repeating from step 1 finally works!

So it seems that someone has been making sloppy assumptions about the 
whereabouts and naming of libX(ex)t. :-)
