Chances are that it looks in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions - both firefox and iceweasel look for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins. Which means that there are also broken plugins... I've just checked this (via packages.d.o) and found that the following provide plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but not in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins or /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins: mozilla-plugin-gnash mozilla-opensc Bugs are already opened for mozilla-plugin-gnash (399920 and 402292). However, none are for mozilla-opensc - does it work with iceape or iceweasel? What about packages which provide content in /usr/lib/mozilla/extensions or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but not the corresponding iceape directories? Does iceape still notice their presence? (Bug 402292 doesn't say either way.) > I prefer 2 (though I have fixed my packages so if they get unblocked, they > appear functional in etch), since that would be easier and more stable > solution for now. > Here is the list of packages which have smth under firefox/extensions > but no iceweasel/extensions [snip] > iceweasel-dom-inspector See bug 399631.
