Hi gurus I have a CentOS 5.2 current x86_64 that has Thunderbird and Firefox working well for one user account (my wife) but will not play nice for my account. I have uninstalled thunderbird and firefox (via yum) and re-installed - no change. I have just wiped the .mozilla folder and started afresh, but it still shows no plugins, yet the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ has the libflashplayer.so link etc.
How does all this stuff get hooked up.
I have previously installed firefox direct from their site and not used the CentOS supplied rpm, but now that RH say the light and provides a current version, I use the yum process to get my firefox installed. Everything was working a week or so ago, but when I tried fixing things yesterday, all went rapidly pear shaped. In firefox I pressed the Check Now button under Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > System Defaults and now its gone and lost all my plugins Any idea how to get them back?
Looking on the support.mozilla.com/firefox site provides little linux help and seems oriented to windoze users. Appreciate some insight from those who know how this distro hangs it all together.
