I've had issues recently with ~/.mozilla/plugins not working until I linked
them into ~/.firefox/plugins, and then more issues with various settings
not persisting between sessions.  I suspect the newer versions may be less
tolerant of the use of both the .mozilla and .firefox directories.  (Aren't
we doing something in the build to force this to get setup the way it is?
I'm sure it's something firefox documents, but we know about their bit
rot.)
