If mozilla (firebird, whatever flavor) is doing anything - it won't
load new plugins until all process have finished (IE it's running) -
then it will load them next time it starts.
IE if you had a download window open or something - the new plugins
wouldn't be registered until ALL mozilla windows were closed and the
browser started fresh.

I'm not sure you're right. I've regularly installed new plugins and had
them work without having to restart Mozilla or FireFox. Both just
detect the new plugins while running and add them to the list.
I've done this with Flash, Java and RealAudio on a number of systems.

That's not entirely true. It looks for new plugins every time it is
asked to check the available plugins. That does happen at startup.
It also happens whenever you view about:plugins, or otherwise initiate
a call to navigator.plugins.refresh()

Spoke to soon. Today I booted my box and fired up firefox and the
plugins are gone again. about:plugins showed only the default plugin. I
fired up mozilla and sure enough the plugins were their. This has to be
a firefox problem.

1. bug reports go in bugzilla, not here.
2. make sure you are using our packages. The upstream versions do not
check /usr/lib/mozilla

New subject: my startx is failing on new stuff
I have looked through recent messages on this list and have not seen anyone
complaining about loss of X/Gnome/Desktop after yum yum of this morning's

I boot to runlevel 3 and then log in and do a 'startx'
My /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the following on the bottom. I can attach the

Thanks much (My email machine is an 11 yr old Mac which struggles with a
web browser).
-12 is now available and it works. I needed to download xorg plain and xorg
xfs and xorg libs to satisfy rpm dependencies.
