The place where Mozilla is installed is
/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin/ and /usr/bin/mozilla
The user's profile is installed in
~/.mozilla/firefox/profile_name
(i.e. /home/user/.mozilla/profile_name; where profile_name is the mozilla user's profile name).
The Mozilla start page (for both Mozilla Web-Browser and Mozilla Firefox ) is in
/usr/share/doc/mozilla-browser/localstart.html
Plug-ins directory
The mozilla plug-in directory is generally
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
If installing plugins without root permissions, use
~/.mozilla/plugins
(i.e. /home/user/.mozilla/plugins )
instead of the plugins subdirectory where Mozilla is installed. You may have to create this directory first.
Mozilla Firefox also uses the same plugins folder.
For a plug-in, you have to install a .so and .xpt file.
You can change the plug-ins to use the system default, going to Edit Preferences Advanced / Plug-in and script and editing it to indicate the folder where the program is.
Type about:plugins in the mozilla address bar to see the plug-ins installed.
See :
Gnome's Evince will handle PDF. Install Mozplugger to enable Evince instances embedded inside the browser window. This also enables viewing LibreOffice documents embedded in the browser window, provided you have the required LibreOffice packages installed.
Also, If you installed Adobe Acrobat reader, copy nppdf.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and ensure a copy of acroread is in your path.
Flash player
See FlashPlayer
Java
On Linux, Mozilla requires JRE 1.4.2 or later ( plug-in application/x-java-vm). Remember that the SDK contains the JRE so you don't need to download both.
Enable Java in Mozilla
The easiest way is to install ?BlackDownJava that includes Java plug-in for mozilla.
Multimedia
There is a browser plugin for Mozilla and Firefox available by installing gecko-mediaplayer (based on MPlayer). Another media player plugin is mozilla-plugin-vlc (based on VLC)
A browser plugin is not mandatory.
