Firefox has many more. It looks like chrome only picks them from ~/.mozilla/plugins, while firefox also looks for them in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins. Some plugins only get installed into the latter directory, for ex. www/plugger installs /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/plugger/npplugger.so and it doesn't appear in chrome at all unless one makes a symbolic link in ~/.mozilla/plugins. So why chrome isn't looking in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins? Yuri
