Now I will tell you a secret. If you go into about:config you will
see
that the configuration: browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions is set as true by default. Only when it is set to false can you see what you want to
see
in the: Edit->Preferences->downloads->view & Edit Actions. With this set as true you are flying blind with plugins. Why does fedora not distribute this with the configuration set properly. How
would you
know about this?
File a bug. It cerainly seems rediculous.

Ok, I wanted to do what Dotan suggested. But firefox is not one of the components you can file a request for in bugzilla. I would be interested in a suggestion from the buglilla suporters.
