Configuring Browser plugins for Firefox on Linux

Once we have Firefox on Linux obviously the next thing one has in mind to be able to use it as a normal browser. The three main plugins that should be configured are Macromedia, real player and xine. Macromedia for all the flash stuff, real player and helix player are perhaps the best choice if you are thinking of watching streaming video for example BBC newscast and xine for all other media type. The trick is to have the following files in your plugins directory under the firefox-installer directory. The files to be copied are libflashplayer.so, nphelix.so, xineplugin.so
