Well, yes and no.

If you install the rpm it puts the plugins in /usr/lib/browser-plugins.

If you use the INSTALLER version of Firefox from mozilla.org then it
will also--by default--put them into the same directory
(/usr/lib/browser-plugins). With the installer version you do have the
option to install Firefox in a directory of your choice--and I always
install it in my /home directory.
Installer version ? Where is that ? :-)
I just extracted Firefrom from the tar.gz....

From what you show above, you seem to have installed Firefox in your
/directory which is why you show '~/.mozilla/plugins' because the
plugins directory does not normally show up in your /home directory.
So, what you have to do is to copy everything from
/usr/lib/browser-plugins into your ~/.mozilla/plugins; *then* you will
have both the same.
... and copied it to /home/zly/Programs/Firefox.
It seems to use /home/zly/.mozilla/plugins, which is linked to
/usr/lib/browser-plugins, so again, it does use the same versions.

One other thing: you haven't messed around with the version of java
installed with Suse? The symlink in the plugins now points to the
1.4.2 version and if install the 1.5 version then you have to alter
the symlink.
libjavaplugin_oji.so in /usr/lib/browser-plugins is a symlink to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0...etc..., so that should not cause problems.

Another thing, do you have the NoScript extension installed?
Nope.

Cheers.


Just to remind you of the original post, Firefox (the RPM version)
actually DOES play sound, when closing down TeamSpeak which only
occupies /dev/dsp0, where as the version from mozilla.org happily uses
/dev/dsp, even when teamspeak is running.
