The only plugin that I am using at the moment is flash. I have noticed
that there are a ton of symlinks involved here and I am not sure if
this is due to the fact that I had stable and went to devel as I had
mentioned above. To give you an idea I have listed the links below:

/usr/lib/firefox/plugins; points to
/usr/lib/xulrunner/plugins; which points to
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/plugins

Are these symlinks remnants of the stable version that I had installed
before? should these lib files get cleaned up after a spell is removed
or do they hand around on purpose.

I suppose I could remove the symlink /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and just
make it a regular directory if need be and remove the xulrunner
directory. Then again, if something else needs xulrunner and it is
recast or resurrected would that overwrite and break the plugin(s)
that I might have installed at that time?
