Firts thing, in my opinion is to check your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 
directory rather than your /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.<minor_version>/plugins 
directory. In the above path you should have the links to the helix 
player, the mplayer plugin (mplayerplug-in.so file) if you did install 
that and probably a link to your JRE plugin. The Flash plugin SHOULD be 
installed directly under Firefox's plugins directory in 
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins. To find out what plugins do you have 
installed in Firefox, type in the location bar 'about:plugins' (without 
the quotes, of course!). Hope this helps... You can always place these 
links manually if need be. I don't know how can ksh affect the plugins 
themselves or firefox (if at all), since most of the scripts would call 
their respective shell if need be. Just have in mind the root 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins direcotry when handling and installing 
plugins... For some strange reason, Flash player will not see this path 
as a valid one, and as such you will need to install it under the actual 
installation path of the browser you want to use Flash with (though 
Konqueror can search for this plugin under firefox's install directory).
