7.2R and Firefox 3.5.3 and Flash/Java - something odd I can't quite figure out...

[Kurt Buff]

Hmm...

# ll /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
total 128
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      68 Sep 13 09:44 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/amd64/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  130658 Sep 13 13:12 npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

# ll /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins
total 24
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  22808 Sep 12 22:05 libnullplugin.so

So, should I link the files in browser_plugins to the plugins directory?
