Mandriva Free 2008.1 (x86_64)

Hi,

I would like to use the Firefox Linux package coming from mozilla.com--as
opposed to always having to wait for the updated rpm's in the mirrors,
etc.

Also, I have found that there are some extensions/add-ons out there that
either will not install or work, on the Mandriva FF, but will install and/
or work in the Moz FF.

My problem is: the plugins.

There are many plugins available (VLC, Mplayer, etc.) in the Mandi
mirrors--which is very convenient--but those get installed in the /usr/
lib64/mozilla/plugins and not the /opt/firefox/plugins folder (/opt is
where I keep the Mox FF).

Is there a way to apply the plugins from the Mandi FF to the Moz FF?

I have tried to just copy/paste the so files from /usr/lib64/mozilla/
plugins to /opt/firefox/plugins and then checked aboutlugins but no
recognition by Moz FF of the pasted files.

Any advice?

Thanks.
