OK. Sorry to have bothered you. It seems to be a problem of that specific user (me). The others on the same machines see the /usr/lib/mozilla-plugins without a problem.
I was using a "tar-installed to /opt" Firefox3 before. I guess it must have fiddled around with some settings in ~/.mozilla (but obviously not the fault of the RPMs)
