>Description:
The FreeBSD ports system installs several browser plugins (mplayer and
flash come to mind) into /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/. Mozilla seems
to "know" about the existance of this directory and proceeds to load
all the plugins found there upon startup. Unfortunately, that's not the
case with Phoenix (www/phoenix), which is "supposed" to use the very
same plugins.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/www/phoenix
make install

>Fix:
No known "real" fix".

The workaround is to copy / symlink your mozilla plugins from
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ to your Phoenix plugin
directory (/usr/X11R6/lib/phoenix/lib/mozilla-1.3a/plugins)
