Description Glen Barber 2009-08-30 00:30:04 UTC 
Section 6.2.3 of the handbook is the last section referencing /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ to link FireFox plugins since PR docs/137703 was committed.

Fix: The attached patch replaces the /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ directory with $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ to keep the plugin location consistent throughout the handbook.

The problem here is that you will install directly the linux plugin,
i.e., libflashplayer.so and not the wrapped version.
In the Java section, it's not a problem since we link a native (FreeBSD)
plugin.
