Version: 2.0 (using KDE 3.4.89 (>= 20050508), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1-12mdk The new Firefox's default plugins folder ($HOME/.mozilla/plugins) is not yet listed in "Plugins" control module. This is extremely confusing to new users as they don't understand why KDE can't find and use their flash plugin (or anyother plugins) which they have already installed inside Firefox. Adding this folder to the default folder list should solve a lot of headaches to new users.
Created attachment 11503 [details] Patch to add the new folder to Kcontrol's module This is the simple patch that adds the new folder to the default Kcontrol module. (It's my first patch for KDE :P)
SVN commit 426867 by thiago: Adding $HOME/.mozilla/plugins to the search path list. According to comment on the file, it should be kept in sync with nsplugins/pluginscan, and that path is already there. Many thanks to Hugo Rodrigues for providing the patch.
