Are Java and Flash (or any plugin; as a matter of fact) supported on Linux Firefox 8? I don't see any lib or plugins directory in the install directory.

I don't see any plugin support on installing Linux Firefox 8 tar.bz2 package. I've tried symlinking libnpjp2.so and libflashplayer.so to the isntall directory but Firefox doesn't seem to recognize those. I don't find any mention of disabling plugin support (Java and Flash specifically) on Firefox 8 release notes. Is anybody else facing this issue?

You can create a plugins folder in the Firefox Profile Folder and place symlinks in that folder.

Thanks. Creating a "plugins' directory inside the profile directory, and putting symlinks to plugin files inside the directory solved the problem
