I think this and similar problems may be caused by FF2 using the same profile as FF3
Give it a profile of it's own.....
firefox vlc plugin

Re: firefox vlc plugin
Close out all Firefox windows and run this in terminal.
This will start Firefox 2 with the Profile Manager so you can give it it's own profile.
Code: Select all
firefox-2 -ProfileManager

Copy to /user/lib/firefox/pluginspanini0 wrote:thanx for the response
i deleted the default profile and created a new one for firefox 2 .
but still the same problem
still "about:plugins" in firefox shows only flash and adobe reader plugin! no vlc plugin visible there!! so it cant play any streaming videos
also the " /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/" has "libvlcplugin.so" file!! how to make firefox recognise the plugin?
