I have very much the same information as has been discussed in this thread in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins: total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Jul 23 08:59 .firefox.keep lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 49 Sep 14 06:35 flashplayer.xpt@ -> /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/flashplayer.xpt lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 51 Sep 14 06:37 libflashplayer.so@ -> /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 78 Sep 14 07:07 libjavaplugin_oji.so@ -> /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so However, when I use the about:plugins page, it comes up essentially blank, giving me only the information links about instaling plugins, etc. I have been working under the assumption that I've done something incredibly stupid, and attempting to find my error on my own, and have the sinking feeling that it's probly staring me right in the face, and I'm just too blind to see it. Do either of you (or anyone else for that matter) have any advice or hints here, or does this seem as strange to you as it does to me? Drew
