I'm seeing this with all plugins installed in the global directories. Looks like Firefox 7 modified something in the search path for plugins. Truss shows it's not looking in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19 anymore. It does look in /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins. I made the following symlink in there to have it work again: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 35 Sep 29 14:12 plugins -> ../browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19 I'm not sure if this one needs to be fixed in the plugin ports or in the firefox port. -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
