I would like to add that in FC2(default) the plugin dir is:

I'd rather recommend using
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
instead of the version-specific /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins !!
Should you ever update mozilla to something other than 1.6 (this did happen with RH9), you'll end up losing your plugins if they were living in the version-specific dir. whereas if you placed them in the generic /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin dir, they would stick around after the upgrade !
Just my $0.02 :)
Mine 02. Also recommend Dag Wieers' packages to streamline the process. He takes care of the symbolic links in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. I have:
[root@tabb1 root]# rpm -qa | egrep "(j2|mozilla)" | sort j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag mozilla-1.6-8 mozilla-acroread-5.0.9-1.1.fc2.dag mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag mozilla-mail-1.6-8 mozilla-nspr-1.6-8 mozilla-nss-1.6-8
Had to "rpm -e j2re-1_4_2_04" to get yum to install the Dag packages. It it won't upgrade to j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag although it seems to be a later version to the eyeball - something to do with sort order apparently.
