I have observed the same packaging bug. Firefox will not discover the helix plugin until symbolic links are created in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins. These links should be created by the package installer, but they are not.
A work around is to create the symbolic links manually as follows: sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/mozilla-browser_nphelix.mozilla-browser_nphelix.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/nphelix.so sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/mozilla-browser_nphelix.mozilla-browser_nphelix.xpt /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/nphelix.xpt -- helix plugin not loaded by firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147505 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
