Interesting. That reference seems to suggest that only the
/usr/lib/firefox-<version>/plugins/ directory and the user's own
~/.mozilla/plugins directory are searched for plugins. That seems to be a
major usability setback, as with no version-independent plugin
directory, plugins have to be relocated at every upgrade of Firefox.
