Well, that works, I ignored the default profile, asked to create a new 
one and hey presto plugins are back.
Thanks
I do not know why deleting my .mozilla/ directory didn't do it the first 
time.
However this does not fix it for the firefox started from the gnome 
panel - it still has no plugins.
I deleted the default profile, it warns that it will delete all the 
files in the .mozilla/ folder but still no good......
Still something wrong???
So now I have to launch firefox with firefox --profilemanager ??
Confused, why so complicated!!
