I downloaded and installed adblock plus plugin 7.5.5 for Firefox from 
http://addons.mozilla.org.  I was told to restart Firefox and it would be 
installed.  I was asked to subscribe to a local ad list, which I did.

about:plugins reveals only the two default plugins.

I have in /firefox*/plugins also mplayer which I copied there manually.

But I have under tools Adblock Plus, and I can click on it to add filters.

Mplayer plugin was supposed to go to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins which does 
not exist.

I found adblock directory in /root/.mozilla/firefox/kt*/ with 
patterns.ini (from the subscribed service?).  Where is the actual plugin?

adblock .7.5.5 works with Firefox 1.5 or Seamonkey 1.0 or later.
adblock 1.0 is for Firefox 2 and Seamonkey 1.1 or later.

Using Seamonkey itself I searched for Adblock for Seamonkey 1.1, and got 
only one version, the latest (1.0.1). You must be administrator to install 
to Seamonkey and it affects all users.  I was asked to subscribe to a 
filter and I now have Adblock Plus Preferences under tools.

I don't have a /root/.seamonkey (as expected since this is for all users) 
so where did seamonkey adblock go?

Under advanced I searched for Seamonkey/linux extensions and got 149 
matches.  3460 for Firefox 1.5.  Which ones do people here recommend?

There is an mplayer plugin version for firefox at linuxpackages.net.
How do we install and use linuxpackages plugins while running firefox from 
its own directory?
