I had gone to a site that required flashplugin, and was prompted to 
install. I checked about:plugins, and I no longer had a long list of 
plugins with mime types and status, but just a short list showing the 
Default Plugin is libnullplugin.so and is not enabled. It then shows 
Shochwave Flash as libflashplayer.so (ShochwaveFlash-9.0 r124) with 2 
mime types and is enabled for both. It does not show for Adobe Reader 
although It is working as I just now found out. Does anyone know how to 
get the pluggins that I had for the Beta version into the current 
version? Or at least so that it shows them in the about"plugins page?
